What You’ll Learn

Using a pencil, you’ll learn how to control the pressure you use while writing. You’ll develop that skill further as we learn the basic strokes that form the letters. Then, we’ll move to working with the pen to explore different types of mark-making with this versatile tool.

This class is great for those who want to get started with calligraphy as well. You can apply many of the skills from this class to writing calligraphy scripts with a dip pen and ink.
