Woodstock Arts

In this class, we will continue our study of Copperplate, which was popular in the early 1900’s. This classic form of lettering brings an unlimited amount of possibility and beauty to writing. We will use both pencil and pointed pen with dip ink. Students will further their practice of this classic script and pointed pen. We will practice upper case letter forms and use the script in a variety of applications such as gift tags and envelopes. The book, Copperplate Calligraphy Practice Book, by Christen Allocco Turney, is the textbook for this class and is a requirement. We will be using this book in each class (see supply list in class resources.) Six, 90-minute sessions will be included in this introductory course.
