Penmanship & Calligraphy Workshop with Howard Rose

Workshop | Available

You all know how wonderful it is to receive a hand written note from a friend or relative rather than a cold quick email. Lets bring more beauty into the world. Think…notes, invitations, letters, beautiful art and just in general, a much better personal hand writing.

This will be an extensive 2 and one half hour workshop using a dip pen and ink in Penmanship & Calligraphy. To create the worlds most beautiful lettering - Spencerian script. Every student will get a pen holder and a special nib from Japan that creates elegant thick and thin letters.

We of course have to learn the letters, so our first exercises will be working with lined paper and a pencil to LEARN the letters. I have many handouts that you can bring home and practice the upper and lowercase letters. I have been lettering my whole life. It is an amazing, relaxing and a very creative, easy to set up, art form, that only requires… a pen, paper, ink and your creativity!
