Event Overview

If you are ready to take your skills to the next level, this class is for you!!

The beauty and fun of modern calligraphy is that we each get to create our own unique look. But sometimes it feels tricky to know where to start with developing it. We will focus the time on developing your own unique styles (yes, more than one!!) through exploring letter variations, angle, lead length, ascender/descender to x-height ratios, and ligatures. You will learn about and apply the elements that determine the look of your lettering and build your portfolio of styles (if you have been hanging out with me long enough, you know I won't use the word "fonts" in reference to handwriting). 

If desired, I will also spend time at the end of class discussing pricing calculations for commissioned pieces and elements that should be included in a contract.
