It’s time! I’m happy to announce that I’ll be teaching a calligraphy class this month. Please read the details below for more information. I’m so excited and I hope you’ll join us! If you have any questions please email me at molly[at]esquescript.com or comment below.Thanks! Molly Margaret
Traditional and Modern Calligraphy with Molly Margaret
In this class we will take a look at traditional calligraphy scripts and modern styles. You will walk away with knowledge on using the unique tools involved in dip pen calligraphy, traditional and modern lettering styles, paper and ink choices and more!
This class is divided into two sessions. Each session will last 2 hours.
Session One:
We will explore how to use different nibs, pen holders, guidelines, ink and paper. The first class will be focused on traditional copperplate letterforms. It’s important to understand the foundations when learning a new skill. You’ll leave the first session with an understanding of the main concepts of calligraphy. You’ll also leave with a little homework. 🙂
Session Two:
In the second session we will look at how to expand your skills. We will dive into a more modern calligraphy style, try colored inks, learn more about paper selection and go over any other questions! I’ll bring my collection of inks, nibs, pen holders and papers for you to test out.
My goal is to help you begin a journey in calligraphy. I’ll take time with each student one on one to provide you with techniques and tips to further your skills.
Supplies list:
Oblique Pen Holder ( I recommend getting a holder like the Oblique Peerless Holder, Hourglass Adjustable Oblique Holder or Century Oblique Holder. The Speedball holder will also work but it’s less ideal.)
3 nibs of your choice. I recommend the following for beginners:
Zebra G, Nikko G, Manuscript G, Tachikawa G
I will provide you with paper and ink.
Class Times:
Nov. 19, 2013 – 6-8 pm
Nov. 26, 2013 – 6-8 pm
Class Cost : $40
Class size: 4-10 students
Location: Paper & Ink Arts, 240 Great Circle Road, STE 328, Nashville, TN 37228

Hi, Molly. I am very interested in taking a beginner’s course from you and I noticed the class in Nov is full. Will you be offering any classes in Dec? If so, how do I get notified so that I don’t miss out again? Thanks! Jennifer

Jennifer, Thanks for the interest! I’m going to be teaching again in January for sure. It’ll probably be a weekend class to accommodate those who can’t make it to a night class. Join the mailing list on the blog (upper right corner) and I’ll be announcing the class sign up through the mailing list before I release it on the blog. Thanks again! -Molly Margaret

I have had some calligraphy classes in the copperplate script but am looking to expand my skills. Do you have a class in the very near future?
