Some Favourite Supplies for Beginning Italic Calligraphy at Quietfire School

 I have some suggestions in case you're having trouble finding supplies for Beginning Italic Calligraphy.


 

First, check John Neal Bookseller for supplies for Beginning Italic Calligraphy - I gave them my wish list right at the start!

Click on the photos below to see more details.  The links below are for Amazon.ca, but you don't have to get them here. My plan is to do links for Amazon.com as well, but when you go to these links, you may be prompted to change to .com.  I hope so!  Let me know if that happens!!  I've been trying to put this on my site, but I'm not sure Amazon links play well with others!  Please ask if you have any questions.

Happy Lettering!

Quietfire School - Beginning Italic Calligraphy

 Have you visited Quietfire School?


It's my latest place to share all that "stuff" that's been accumulating in my brain (and studio) for, um, quite some time!

 
My first class opened in the spring with Beginning Italic CalligraphyIt's a comprehensive course on getting started in calligraphy.  We use easy-to-get supplies and I break the course down into little bits so you can take in as much or as little as you want in one sitting.

What you'll know when you finish this course!


  • You'll be on your way to making your own cards or creating frame-able art for friends and family.
  • You will know how to make beautiful broad-edged italic letters with tools that are easy to get.
  • You’ll understand the shape relationships between the letters which makes it so much easier for you when you put pen to paper.
  • You’ll have developed fundamental skills that will help with all your lettering creations and begin to develop your own style. You can't break the rules till you know them! And we're going to really know the rules!
  • You’ll know how to critique your own letterforms.
  • You will have gained so much confidence and satisfaction with practice.

You have lifetime access to this course so you can drop in at any time.

Students in the class are welcome to join the Facebook Beginner Italic Calligraphy Group where you can ask relevant questions and I will drop in with little videos and other things.
 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me through my website, or use the contact link in the sidebar of this blog.

I look forward to seeing you in class!
Suzanne
