    Description

    Come and learn the elegant script writing of past generations. Beautiful thin upstrokes, curved and joined with fine loops, contrasted by graduated broader downward pen movements giving a fine balance of thick and elegant thin.

    Using a nib holder and pointed pen nib, learn to write Script Cursive Lettering, how they join together, letter connections and combinations. We will take this script and give it a modern contemporary twist.

    Enjoy a day of lettering, where we will also learn about suitable papers and different pigments to use in your fine pointed pen nib.

    What to bring

    Bring your lunch. Tea and coffee are provided. All materials ($22) are provided for the course and you'll take home your fine pointed nib and holder. For those who decide they will continue and progress their calligraphy, Margaret will also have a range of 'next level' nibs to purchase.

    Who should attend?

    Those interested in learning script cursive lettering and/or using the pointed pen nib as a tool. Those who have completed Margaret's Calligraphy Introduction course and wish to continue learning new calligraphy skills.
