Event Description

Spend an afternoon learning about the craft of hand lettering using a traditional pen with metal nib dipped into sumi ink. You’ll learn about the basic strokes and shapes that are the foundation of all broad-edge lettering styles that we have inherited from medieval manuscripts.


Ticket price includes a pen, nib, sumi ink, paper, and an exemplar to begin learning the Foundational calligraphy hand. Instructor Karen Nordstrom Roberts will be joined by other members of the Calligraphy Guild of Pittsburgh for this Introduction class.


If you enjoy the intro class and want a deeper dive, consider signing up for the 8-week intensive Foundational Calligraphy class beginning on October 8th. Tickets for that are found here. 


Karen Nordstrom Roberts has practiced calligraphy for 30 years creating lettering for certificates, weddings, poetry, and artistic interpretations.  She is one of a few calligraphers who teach both broad-edge and pointed pen styles of lettering. Her work has been exhibited in several locales in the Pittsburgh region.  She is vice president of the Calligraphy Guild of Pittsburgh and a member of IAMPETH, the Washington Calligrapher’s Guild, and Friends of Calligraphy.
