Triangle Calligraphers Guild (TCG) Monthly Meeting

Info: Step into the graceful world of Copperplate calligraphy—where every letter curves, flourishes, and dances with rhythm and elegance.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn the foundations of Copperplate, a traditional script that dates back to the 18th century and still graces everything from formal invitations to fine art pieces. Using a pointed pen and ink, we’ll break down the basic strokes, letterforms, and techniques needed to create beautiful, consistent script.

You’ll leave with:

A strong understanding of basic Copperplate strokes and structure

A starter alphabet and tools for home practice

Confidence to create your own graceful script

Tips to avoid common mistakes (hello ink blobs and scratchy nibs!)

No calligraphy experience? No problem. If you can hold a pen and take a deep breath, you’re ready.

This class is slow, supportive, and stress-free—perfect for creatives, curious minds, and anyone ready to rediscover the joy of writing by hand.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
