Introduction to Copperplate Calligraphy (lower-case focus)

Join Cheryl Dyer, Omaha calligrapher and lettering artist, as she leads students in learning the basics of pointed-pen Copperplate calligraphy.  This class will be lower-case specific and it the best place to start if you're new to calligraphy!

Students will be given a brief history of Copperplate Script, an overview of tools and materials and instruction on how to use them. After learning some basic strokes using a traditional steel nib and oblique pen holder, students will delve into learning the lower case alphabet. Students will leave class with a detailed exemplars (including uppercase letters) and guide sheets for practice at home as well as all supplies provided in class. No calligraphy experience (or good handwriting!) needed, advanced or intermediate students will also benefit from guidance by an experienced instructor. 

This workshop, which will be capped at ten students. Take-home supplies are included in the cost of tuition.
