Intro to Pointed Pen Calligraphy

Did you know that you don’t need to have good handwriting to make beautiful calligraphy? This is an introductory beginner class where you will learn the basics of modern pointed pen calligraphy, a form of calligraphy that uses a nib and ink to create elegant fine-pointed letters as you often see on wedding envelopes, etc.

This workshop will focus on traditional alphabets and learning the foundation of strokes. In addition, just in time for the holidays, you will create a fun project for your Thanksgiving table. All supplies will be provided in addition to materials for your practice at home. Your take-home kit includes guide sheets, pen, nib, ink and ink dish.
