Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this calligraphy class:

Learn the beautiful art of modern calligraphy hand lettering -- and be on your way to lettering everything from envelopes to art pieces!

In this beginner-level class, your instructor Margaret Fu of Wispy Letters will begin by walking you through the basics of modern calligraphy while guiding you as you practice writing using worksheets. She'll help as you begin developing your own personal lettering style, and finally, you'll create your own hand-lettered art piece, or greeting cards.

In this workshop you will:

  • Learn the basic elements of modern calligraphy and practice writing the alphabet 
  • Begin to develop your own lettering style
  • Practice writing words and phrases
  • Make finished piece(s) including an art print and/or gift cards
Cost includes the use of all necessary tools and materials.

    I had a great time in this Modern Calligraphy course. Margaret Fu was patient and informative, giving everyone individual attention and assistance. The class was easy-going and went by fast. We left with practice materials, useful tips, ink, a nib, and a nib holder. I would definitely recommend this class to others.

    Most of the workshop was self-guided. I was hoping there would be a framed finished piece...

    The teacher was very friendly and knowledgable, and made it look so easy! But she was helpful and really broke it down step by step. I would even take this class again!
