Calligraphy for Beginners with Maria Oglesby

In this 2 hour workshop students will learn the basics of the calligraphy alphabet, how to connect various letters, and how to add embellishments and flourishes to their work. We will go over the basics of how to use and treat common calligraphy tools such as brush pens, pen nibs, and how to stir and mix their own gouache and watercolor for calligraphy use.

Students will leave the workshop with their own completed calligraphy alphabet, and a set of basic calligraphy tools to continue their practice of the art form.

This workshop is perfect for artists who are interested in doing their own wedding calligraphy, invitation envelopes, or similar work.
