Traditional Calligraphy for Beginners (Part 2)

About this event

This is a beginner’s deep-dive into the Art of Calligraphy, split into two classes: Session 1 (Thursday, October 8) will cover guidelines, holding the pen, right and left handed lettering, practicing basic strokes with a pen, and practicing letter formation with a pencil. Session 2 (Thursday, October 22) will cover dipping the pen in ink and forming individual letters, focusing on the thick/thin strokes. After practicing individual letters, participants will write short words or names. You will need to sign up for this free class, as spaces are limited; and the instructor asks that you commit to both sessions, as you will get the most out of the class by doing so. You will sign up for both classes using the form on the Part 1 page here. About the instructor: Wynn Yarrow says, “I live in the Southern Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. My studio is in my home. I paint local forest and garden landscapes representing human connection to the natural world. Creative artist residencies provide additional inspiration and exposure to new natural ecosystems.” Learn more on Wynn’s website: wynnyarrow.com
