Welcome to Capital Letters - a two-part online workshop dedicated entirely to the graceful world of Engrosser’s Script majuscules.
In this 2-session series (each 2 hours long), we’ll slow things down to explore the beauty of the all caps letterforms - the subtle shades, the precise turns, and that unmistakable flow that defines fine penmanship.
Through guided demonstrations and plenty of practice strokes, you’ll learn how to:
- Understand the anatomy and structure of Engrosser’s Script majuscules.
- Develop consistent slant, spacing, and rhythm for polished, uniform writing.
- Master the fundamental stroke groups that form the backbone of every letter.
- Build smooth transitions between letters for fluid, connected words.
- Identify and fix common errors to enhance legibility and elegance.
You’ll also get insights into:
- How to train your eye for proportions.
- How to build muscle memory through mindful repetition.
- How to balance grace and precision without losing your natural hand movement.
This class is perfect for:
- Beginners ready to start their Engrosser’s journey.
- Intermediate calligraphers looking to refine control and consistency.
- Advance level calligraphers who love the meditative rhythm of the pointed pen.
By the end of The Capital Letters, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of Engrosser’s script structure and a confident, flowing hand that feels more effortless.
