To sign up, contact Jacob Gunter at Jacob@BindersArt.com.

Below are class details.


Calligraphy Two: Copperplate with Anne Elser 6 sessions | Beginner to Intermediate | Price: $205 | Min.3/Max.7 | Wednesdays, Mar. 15-Apr.19, 6-8:30pm

This is an introductory look at Copperplate, an elegant and elastic hand frequently used for formal invitations, documents and bridal events. Completely enchanting, the dramatic thicks and thins of this delicate hand will make you swoon.During the six week course, students will be given handouts and guide sheets, learning the upper and lower case characters. We will also address spacing and layout for addressing envelopes. Calligraphy is less about pretty handwriting, but more about DRAWING each and every letter. It's about establishing a pacing and rhythmic motion as you write - giving you a consistency of shapes and letters, and spaces in between words and lines. It is highly relaxing and meditative. Like yoga for the hands.
