Calligraphy workshop - Elegant Copperplate script

June 12 & 13 (Friday 6-9 & Saturday 9-4)

Elegant Copperplate Script Workshop

with Red Deer calligrapher, Roxanne Fairbrother

at High River United Church

Copperplate is a style of writing that is done using a sharp pointed flexible nib instead of the flat nib used in most calligraphic styles. By applying pressure on the nib you can get thick strokes and when releasing pressure you get graceful think upstrokes.   This script dates back as early as the 16^th century. It is easy to learn and because you will be using a pointed nib, absolutely no calligraphy experience is needed. Cost of workshop is $75.   To register contact the church office at 403-652-3168   hruc(at)telus.net
