Intimidated by dip pens? Not anymore! This class is designed for students who have been practicing calligraphy with cartridge pens or markers and want to transition to the professional calligrapher’s tool of choice: the dip pen.
In this workshop, you will:
- Gain confidence using dip pens and a variety of nibs
- Explore exciting ink options, including metallics and specialty inks
- Learn the techniques needed for writing on dark paper
- Practice calligraphy in different sizes, including the ultra-small
