Intro to Copperplate Calligraphy
Due to the Governor's Stay at Home order, Design KOUS held this workshop through FaceTime and Zoom. I may have been the only person that didn't want to reschedule the workshop, and I'm glad I didn't. Design KOUS provided me with the materials days before our remote workshop. My instructor, Aspacia, was informative on the history of copperplate and provided good instruction. We were able to go at my pace and Aspacia took the time to see my work and my progress, and to provide me with feedback. I highly recommend the workshop by Design KOUS and, if they teach other calligraphy workshops, I will take another workshop with them again in the future. -

Calligraphy Covered: Beginner
The class was awesome! Aspacia Kusulas is a great teacher who knows her craft. While I wasn't expecting to learn Copperplate (this info should be included in course description), I still enjoyed the class and truly appreciated learning something new. The class and entire day was very well organized. Rachel Elnar (you are amazing!) took excellent care of everyone insuring we all had paper and ink to coffee and tea. It felt like I was working at home. The group size was just right and allowed for good interaction with the instructor. Great course for beginners and anyone interested in calligraphy. My only disappointment was that time flew by too quickly. There was so much more I wanted to learn. I will be signing up for another class. -
