About

This class will study the construction of beautiful italic calligraphy letters, focusing on proportion, rhythm and spacing. It will provide you with the structure for continuing a more formal study of calligraphy and/or improving your everyday handwriting.

The Italic hand was first developed during the Italian Renaissance to be used by scholars, diplomats and papal scribes. Today, it is one of the most prevalent, expressive and versatile scripts available to the calligrapher. In this three-session class, you will begin by using pencil and then quickly move on to using pen and ink as you learn the letterforms.
