W-CG208 - My Dearest Gwendolyn: Calligraphy to Keep Your Correspondence Classy!

Skill Levels: All Levels

This 3-hour workshop will cover the rudiments of envelope calligraphy, from etiquette to spacing. Students can write in regular pen, fountain pen, brush pen, dip pen - even marker - whatever they prefer to bring from home. We will learn some simple calligraphic drawings, banner forms, and supplementary phrases to add to your lettering that won’t confuse the USPS. This class will focus on completing one Special Occasion card with a matching envelope, supplies for which will be provided for you, along with black sumi ink for dip pens. Feel free to bring some watercolor paints and a small brush if you have them. Ages 17 and up.
