art & craft: italic calligraphy

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/0/8/event_205622312.jpeg

what we are doing

An initial introduction to calligraphy using ink and a steel dip nib. We will focus on the Italic hand, an elegant and ever useful script, developed in 16th century Italy.

what you will learn

You will get a chance to rediscover how to write, to slow down and concentrate on just lettershape, with ink on paper.
