Class Description

Description

Copperplate is an elegant hand developed during the age of the great writing masters in the 18th century. A luscious, curvaceous hand, this script is used extensively for invitations and formal events in addition to artistic work.

We will introduce the use of the flexible pointed nib and learn the basic minuscule and majuscule letterforms with emphasis on seeing the underlying basic forms of this hand. With practice this course can be used as a springboard for further development of the Copperplate hand. 

Beginners and “refreshers” welcome! 

In the week between each live session, students will have time to practice, ask questions on the class forum, and submit assignments online for instructor critique. 

The sessions will be livestreamed and will also be available as recordings to watch online until May 7, 2022.
