Copperplate Calligraphy 102

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.

It took a while to find a class taught in person and not online. Amy’s Copperplate class was perfect for my beginner needs. Now I can continue to practice and improve, looking forward to additional classes. Amy is approachable and helpful with feedback, willing to share many tips and provide encouragement.&quot; - August 2022 Student</li><li> &quot;Amy&#x27;s explanation of the movement of letters was so helpful.
