Introduction to Brush Calligraphy

Thirty years ago Amy's calligraphy journey started in a fourth grade program at her elementary school. Her teacher (who was not a calligrapher) introduced the students to a basic broad-edge pen using an Italic script. After a 20 year break (while studying architecture and graphic design) she picked up a pointed pen in 2013 and has been studying calligraphy ever since. Amy is a member of the International Association for Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting (IAMPETH) and the Greater Cincinnati Calligrapher’s Guild. Amy is a certified instructor of The American Cursive Handwriting System created by Master Penman Michael Sull. She also homeschools her four sons and resides in Cincinnati, Ohio.
