Craft of Hand Lettering: 8-Week Calligraphy Class

If you loved the introductory class, or are curious about diving deeper into the craft of hand lettering, there is no better place to start learning than with the Foundational hand with Karen Nordstrom Roberts. This is the beautiful lettering style based on medieval manuscripts that forms the basic strokes and shapes underlying most of our letters today. In fact, once you learn Foundational, you can transition those skills to learning Italic, Uncial (Irish), Gothic styles, and more.

In this weekly series of eight classes, you will learn the lowercase and capital letters, proportions and spacing, variations including slopes and serifs, writing in color, and design of a handwritten quote.

A supply fee of $25 payable to the instructor at the first class will include everything you need to get started. No experience necessary, this course is great for first-timers.
