January Calligraphy Class with Molly Margaret
Posted by MollyMargaret on Dec 11 2013, in Calligraphy, Classes
Time flies when you’re having fun. So I guess that means I’ve been having a blast. Last month I started offering calligraphy classes in Nashville and it sold out in 48 hours! It was wonderful to share my love for calligraphy with my students. It was even more amazing to see how quickly everyone picked up the skills. Seriously, my students were naturals! I had a blast and I think they did too. A huge thank you to everyone who attended. I couldn’t have asked for a better group.
I’m happy to announce I’ve secured a date for my next class. I’ll be teaching my traditional and modern calligraphy class again on January 11th, 2014. This class will be a one day workshop. We will meet from 9am-1:15pm (there will be a 15min break in the middle to stretch our legs!). Below you will find the details. I really hope you’ll be able to join us! Thanks! Molly Margaret
ps. The class will take place at Paper and Ink Arts. They recently purchased an overhead projector so I’ll be able to add a few spots to the class and everyone will have a great view of how to create beautiful letters!
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 will be a one day workshop from 9am-1:15pm.
Part 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. 🙂
Part 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.) ** Left handers- please bring a straight pen holder. It’s easier to work with sometimes **
3 nibs of your choice. I recommend the following for beginners:
Zebra G or Nikko G
I will provide you with paper and ink.
Class Times:
Jan. 11, 2014, 9am-1:30pm
Class Cost : $45
Class size: 4-14 students
Location: Paper & Ink Arts, 240 Great Circle Road, STE 328, Nashville, TN 37228
