Contemporary Calligraphy Workshop- Level 1

Hi! I’m Priyanka Rego, the person behind Paper Trails Design Company.I have been practicing calligraphy full time for the past three years, although I have been dabbling in it for many years before. Through Paper Trails Design Co, I provide calligraphy services that include framed work, wedding calligraphy, and design work. I also sell greeting cards and other stationery through myEtsy shop.Once I found the right tools and resources, I found my practice relaxing and rewarding (I could focus more on letterforms and straight lines instead of scratchy nibs and rough paper!) And although online resources are wonderful, attending a class, seeing a calligrapher in action and receiving one-on-one instruction is extremely valuable. I am excited to pass on some of the great tips and techniques I've learned through my journey so far, and hope you join me for this fun, no- pressure workshop!

Priyanka Rego, Paper Trails Design Co.

Join us for a fun evening learning calligraphy in a beautiful space! This class is intended for beginners with little to no experience in calligraphy or those that are interested in learning a more structured approach to modern calligraphy. All the tools for this class will be provided and you will have plenty of resources for your take home practice!
Workshop Details
This workshop will focus on the basics: using a calligraphy pen and nibs, learning basic strokes, and the lowercase alphabet (you will also be provided with additional handouts of the uppercase letters). The class size is limited, so there will be a lot of time for individual instruction. 
Light refreshments and snacks will be provided.
 
FAQs
What style is 'contemporary' calligraphy?
Contemporary calligraphy is the fusion of traditional copperplate calligraphy and modern calligraphy. In my own calligraphy journey, I first attempted modern calligraphy with a pointed pen and found it difficult to keep my style consistent. I found that learning the rules and techniques in traditional copperplate, while also being a wonderfully meditative practice, provides a great foundation for when you break all the rules and create your own contemporary style!
