Modern Calligraphy Workshop for Beginners in BACK BAY / Boston

Discover a new creative outlet that is meditative, relaxing and practical!  Enjoy learning from a pro lettering artist with over 30 yrs experience, in this small group workshop designed for beginners, to get students inspired about the joy of calligraphy.

During this 3 hour "no experience required" class, Liz Roessler of Lettering By Liz teaches the fundamentals of the fine art of modern pointed pen calligraphy with a dip pen & acrylic ink.  She focuses the two-hour class on easy-to-understand, interactive instruction on everything you need to get started. This includes the proper way to load/hold the pen, ritual of dipping into ink, healthy ergonomics, warming up with fun drills on basic pen movements, and then guiding students through a complete alphabet with numbered strokes, all while circulating & offering 1-on-1 guidance.  Students receive clear recommendations and suggested goals for personal practice following class, dozens of cool ideas for using their new calligraphy skills, Q&A throughout, plus on-going follow-up mentoring is available individually after the workshop via email/text.

All class materials (pens/nibs/inks) are included in your registration fee as well as a generous take-home package / starter kit to continue your practice and enjoyment of calligraphy at home.

Students receive both in-class print-outs & post-class emailed PDF's of comprehensive practice materials including 5 complete lettering styles (exemplars of 3 scripts & 2 block/print styles), a collection of worksheets with common words & seasonal / celebration phrases, several styles and sizes of blank gridline sheets, and a detailed supplies list with both local / online sources to purchase additional materials. 

Bring a favorite quote or mantra with you to class and leave with a piece of ready-to-frame lettering art.
