About This Workshop
(student work by Kate Zavolokina)
It’s a new year -- and I encourage you to make time for the things that matter to you, like time to explore your creative interests!
Join me for a hands-on, exclusive two-week workshop in modern calligraphy. This is perfect for the absolute beginner and will give you a chance to dive in and experience both the joy and calm that comes from writing beautiful calligraphy by hand.
(Student work by Alejandra Perez)
I will cover all the details aspiring calligraphers need to get started:
- inks and papers
- setting up a workspace
- basic shapes, exercises, line widths, movement
- how to write letters and maintain style, consistency and beauty in your writing
- and more!
This workshop is designed to be a comprehensive and thoroughly enjoyable challenge. There are detailed worksheets and lots of useful guidance. You’re encouraged to find your own style and explore how calligraphy tools can be used to create a beautiful way of writing.
I’ll be contacting you along the way, encouraging you and reminding you to keep you on track with the workshop deadlines and goals. In the end, you’ll choose a meaningful quote or passage to use in the final calligraphy project.
This workshop is limited to only 50 students -- that way I can provide each and every one of you with extra support and 1-on-1 feedback along the way. Plus it gives you a chance to support each other and meet other Skillshare community members who are exploring their love for calligraphy.
WHAT YOU'LL GET
Guided Experience: I will personally guide you through this workshop to help you learn the art of classic modern calligraphy.
Feedback: Each of you will receive personalized 1-on-1 feedback from me throughout the process.
Ask Me Anything! I’ll be hosting an exclusive LIVE AMA (Ask Me Anything) for workshop students on Wednesday January 27 at 1pm - 2:30pm EST.
Intimate Learning Environment: Because this workshop is limited to 50 students, we will all experience it together and support one another along the way!
PRIZES
One top student for this workshop will receive:
- An original piece calligraphed by me, just for you! -- of a quote or passage of your choice.
- Plus a goodie bag of products from the Paperfinger Calligraphy Shop.
- AND one year free premium membership to Skillshare!
Two additional students with strong contributions to the workshop will receive a special gift from the Paperfinger Calligraphy Shop.
