11:00AM - 1:00PM EST (10:00AM CST; 8:00AM PST)
This live Zoom class is for Advanced Beginning calligraphers with some Copperplate lettering experience who are out of practice or looking for an in-depth review. This class will help you re-examine and re-evaluate your Copperplate calligraphy.
All sessions will be recorded and available for 30 days beyond the final class session.
The purpose of this class is to improve existing skills and develop visual/critical ability, in order to be more demanding of yourselves in terms of letterforms.
We'll focus on improving consistency of shape, slant, pressure and letter connections,
with an emphasis on SPACING, learning to see the space inside and between letters and make visually informed decisions.
Four - 2 hour sessions will be recorded and available for 30 days following final class.
Students must have an internet connection and Zoom Client software installed on a computer (recommended), tablet or phone.
