Second January Calligraphy Class Available

When I announced my January calligraphy class I was blown away by the response. The class filled up within 24 hours and the waiting list has been growing every day since. It’s amazing to see so many people reaching out to learn this art form!! So I’ve decided to add a second class on January 11th. The second class will be my Traditional and Modern Calligraphy 4 hour course held at Paper and Ink Arts in Nashville, TN. But it will take place from 3pm-7:15pm on January 11th.

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 3-7:15 pm.

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.
