Martha Lever is teaching an online, beginning calligraphy class through Creative Workshops. This is an excellent opportunity for a beginner to learn the basics of the Italic alphabet, or for anyone wishing to refresh their dormant calligraphy skills. Martha is a professional calligrapher and lettering artist, but better than that, she is a great and encouraging teacher. Calligraphy is an art, but it is also a craft. I believe the master/apprentice approach is critical to preserving the integrity of the art and craft of calligraphy. A good, solid understanding of the fundamentals is important. Below is Martha's video detailing what she will teach and the supplies she will use.
Wouldn't it be interesting if you taught a pointed pen class through Creative Workshops.........
ReplyDeleteI was aware of Martha's class and plan to take it as a re-fresher - thanks!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Martha's information, Jane. That was so generous of you. Now I know where to direct people who ask me about learning calligraphy.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you'll teach your fabulous pointed pen. That's a class I would take. Hope so.
