Description

Elegant, expressive, and endlessly adaptable— Italic calligraphy is the go-to script for both beginners and experienced lettering artists. In this engaging class, Cheryl introduces you to the art of Italic writing, known for its graceful slant, rhythmic flow, and practical versatility. You’ll explore the anatomy of the Italic alphabet—learning its angles, spacing, and structure—while also gaining confidence in pen control and letter consistency. Cheryl’s warm and encouraging teaching style makes this a perfect class for those new to calligraphy, as well as those looking to refine their Italic hand.
