- Step 1: Due September 11th. Get started by taking Introduction to Modern Script Calligraphy from Paperfinger founder Bryn Chernoff.

For your project, you’ll share your worksheet progress and an image of a quote or your name in classic modern script. Share your project in the class’ project gallery by September 11th.
- Step 2: Due September 18th. Next up, you’ll trade your pen and nib for a brush marker!

You’ll put your new skills into practice by crafting a letter to send to someone you love — snap a photo before you send it and upload it to the class’ project gallery by September 18th.
