Description

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.
