So you’re interested in learning calligraphy but you don’t know where to start? This class is a great place to begin. We will be learning the basics of how to use an actual pointed pen with real ink—and, how to fake it with a marker!

The type of lettering you’ll be introduced to in this class is called Copperplate. It dates back all the way back to the 1700s. But, the cool thing about it is that it is easily adaptable to a modern aesthetic. Once you learn the basics, you can make changes to the script to personalize it.  

The cost of the class includes supplies that will be shipped to you (or picked up if you’re local to Omaha and want to save some $). You’ll only need to provide paper towels, rise water and an apron if you plan on getting messy.

This is an online class, so you can take it from any location as long as you have access to a computer. A detailed message about how to log into Zoom for the class and tips for having the best online experience will be emailed to you after registration.
