Introduction to Italic Calligraphy

The desire to learn the lost art of calligraphy has been growing steadily over the past few years. As keyboard skills have become more important, there is less need to write in a legible hand. It is perhaps because of this reliance on technology and the mechanistic perfections it creates that many people now appreciate and long to learn the vanishing art of calligraphy. In this class, students will learn both the lower and upper cases of the Chancery Cursive alphabet highlighted by a calligraphic project. Please bring lined paper and fiber-tipped pens  
to class.
