Calligraphy Covered: Beginners

  • TypeEd 145 Valley Street Pasadena, CA, 91105 (map)

Occasionally, circumstances call for you to pick up a pen and write beautiful letters to fully capture the elegance and expression of the hand-written word. No matter what your penmanship looks like, you’ll learn everything from basic strokes to full alphabets, connecting letters, and create letterforms in classical or modern freestyle calligraphy to enhance your skill set and expand your fundamental knowledge of script letterforms.

Learn techniques of pointed pen calligraphy, practice calligraphic techniques, and grip, posture and more. 

Materials and refreshments for this workshop will be provided. Please let us know via email if you are left handed. Feel free to bring any tools and supplies that you may already own to use.
