Pointed Pen Calligraphy

Learn the elegant script writing of past generations, with a contemporary twist. Beautiful thin upstrokes, curved and joined with fine loops, contrasted by graduated broader downward movements; giving a fine balance of thick and thin.

Using a nib holder and pointed pen nib, we will learn about letter connections and combinations, and suitable papers and different pigments to use. *$20 for class materials, payable to tutor. A range of suitable Calligraphy pens will also be available for purchase on the first day of class.

Tutor: Margaret Woollett

Term 1: 13 February, 8 Weeks, $110.00
