10/4/25- Introduction to Copperplate Workshop

This introductory workshop will take you through one of my absolute favorite pointed pen scripts. Copperplate script is derived from a form of handwriting called English Roundhand and though it was widely used from the 16th-19th century..it continues to be a favored script today. If you are interested in dipping into pointed pen calligraphy, learning this script will give you a strong foundation of the classic letterforms. We will be using a flexible steel nib to achieve the delicate hairlines and thick shades.
