Learn this quick, easy-to-write cursive script, styled in the 1800’s by Platt Rogers Spencer. Use this script for handwritten letters, quotes, poems, or as a meditative practice. If you love to write or want to learn cursive, this class is for you!
What You’ll Learn
We’ll start with some exercises aimed at improving your control over the pressure you use as you’re writing. Then, we’ll move on to some practice with the shapes of the script before finally making letters and words. On the second day, we’ll review practice a bit and answer some questions before diving into the uppercase letters!
