A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take a modern calligraphy class with Korie Herald from The Weekend Type. Since I took the brush scripting class with Kal Barteski through Studio Calico, I have been obsessed with hand lettering. Or what I call "pretty words."
I've got a basic understanding after this class about modern calligraphy. I have a practice letter set and the basic tools - nibs, oblique pen holder, and ink. Now, I need to practice, practice, practice.
Here's my practice so far:
The Future:
Sky's the limit - right? We'll see, I'm still in brainstorming mode about how I want to continue practicing this art.
Addtional Modern Calligraphy Resources:
I still Love calligraphy - Online modern calligraphy classes
The International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers, and Teachers of Handwriting - Lots of information regarding handwriting, including free video tutorials, lessons - basically an AWESOME resource with tons of information.
Book - Modern Calligraphy: Everything You Need To Know Get Started in Script Calligraphy - something I'm hoping to add to my collection.
The Paper Bride Handwriting Practice Sheets - FREE downloadable practice sheets, already printed mine!
Video: Calligraphy Basics (Approx. 26 minutes) - in the first few minutes I was directed to many more resources to explore (see above).
Learning about modern calligraphy was so much fun. I'm grateful I had the opprotunity to take a class. I've only scratched the surface. It will be no surprise when more calligraphy shows up here!
