IAMPETH 2026 - Casual Copperplate: a Modern Twist to a Historical Script - Suzanne Cunningham

ALL SKILL LEVELS | POINTED PEN

In this class, you won’t learn your typical modern script. Think of it as more of a relaxed Copperplate, hence the name Casual Copperplate! As much as I LOVE traditional Copperplate script (it’s my fav), this formal look doesn’t fit all client projects. Think of a baby shower invitation. Formal Copperplate? Not the right look. Copperplate that is still just as beautiful, but more relaxed and playful? Perfect fit! This class will open up so many client doors and will be the perfect look for a wide variety of projects. It’s helpful if you already know Copperplate script, but absolutely not required for you to enjoy this class and be successful in it. I’d love to share this fun script with you!
