Calligraphy Lessons

I’ve signed up for Calligraphy Lessons!

I’ve only had one session so far.  This style is called Copperplate Calligraphy.  I’ve learned the basic shapes that make up the letters and a few of the lower case letters.

It really reminds me of the cursive writing that I learned while in school.  So far, the exception is the letter P.  In calligraphy, we don’t close the loop at the top.

The instructor came to the house. She brought the pen, nib, ink, paper. Really everything I need to get started. Now it is up to me to practice daily. My next lesson is in February, and I want to be ready for what comes next!
