In our last meeting we were taught the basics of the lowercase copperplate letters. Join us in June for Part 2 featuring the capitals. These letters can be as simple or ornate as you choose but they all begin with the same components–the beautiful compound curve and the perfect oval. All levels of experience are welcome.

Join us at 9:30 to catch up with friends.

The demonstration will begin at 10:00.

We’d love to hear any suggestions you have for future meetings.

This class will take a look at so-called modern calligraphy, seen everywhere nowadays. Chances are you either love it or hate it. I hated it, till I decided that if I can’t beat them, join them. I chose to benefit rather than lose out, by taking a closer look at this popular approach to lettering. So should you.
