Modern Calligraphy for Beginners
September 26 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Pacific
Join us for a lowercase Modern Calligraphy workshop for beginners, where you will learn the art of hand lettering using a traditional pointed dip pen and ink with a contemporary approach.
Many people find Modern Calligraphy attractive to learn because it allows them to create beautiful, fun, and hand-crafted letters that are unique and personal. Modern Calligraphy is often characterized by its use of thick and thin lines, which give the letters a dynamic and expressive quality.
All materials will be provided, and this class is encouraged for students of all skill-levels, including someone who has never taken a calligraphy class before. Traditional calligraphers who would like to learn modern calligraphy techniques. Lefties are welcome!
