W-CG212 Copperplate Calligraphy With Margot Griffin

Tuition: $80

Lab Fee: $5

Level: Intermediate

This intermediate level calligraphy course assumes prior knowledge of how to use a dip pen with a pointed nib, though students may also use a brush marker if preferred. Copperplate is a lovely, traditional hand that stems from English Roundhand and was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. The contrast between elegant hairlines and gentle swells will take your calligraphy to a more formal level while preserving legibility. This hand-on class will use black or brown inks that may stain clothing.
