Esque Script Calligraphy - Calligraphy 101 Workshop
Unlock your creative potential and learn the beautiful art of calligraphy! This Calligraphy 101 Workshop is held in Nashville, TN on April 20, 2024 and will teach you the basics of this satisfying craft. An inspiring experience awaits!
In this class we will take a look at traditional calligraphy scripts and how to expand into more modern styles. You will walk away with knowledge on using the unique tools involved in dip pen calligraphy, traditional and modern lettering styles, paper and ink choices and more! I've been teaching beginners for more than 10 years and love sharing all the tricks and tips I've picked up in my 15 years as a professional calligrapher. I use a projector so you get an up close look at forming every letter form without having to crowd around a table. Plus you'll receive one on one help through out the class!
This class will be a one day workshop from 9am-1pm. No experience is required. This is a beginners class. :)
Traditional:
We will explore how to use different nibs, pen holders, guidelines, ink and paper. The first part of class will be focused on traditional copperplate letter forms. It’s important to understand the foundations when learning a new skill. This part will give you an understanding of the main concepts of calligraphy.
Modern:
In the second part we will look at how to expand your skills. We will dive into a more modern calligraphy styles, learn more about paper selection and go over any other questions!
My goal is to help you begin a journey in calligraphy. I’ll take time with each student to provide you with techniques and tips to further your skills.
