Course Description

We will be studying the fundamentals of Copperplate Calligraphy, starting with posture and how to hold a pen. The following topics will be covered: Nibs, writing paper, shading, spacing, making lines, corrections, using a light tablet, flourishing, pencil layouts, computer layouts, erasing shields, and workable fix. This is a hands on class and one must take time to practice between classes. Since the class is small, individual help will be available. Class is limited to 7.
