Ballpoint Pen Calligraphy

Learn Calligraphy using a Ballpoint Gel Ink Pen

Springtime brings Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduations, parties and weddings. Beautify your cards, personal notes and invitations with calligraphy – the art of beautiful writing. If you can write with a ballpoint pen, Francesca Simon, a professional calligrapher, can teach you the basics of italic calligraphy. It does not matter if you have “bad handwriting”. Calligraphy is the art of “drawing” letters.

Using a professional calligraphy pen is challenging for a beginner. Francesca will show you how to use the beauty of nature’s shapes used in all art – lines, circles, waves and peaks, to write in italic calligraphy style. You will be taught how to use Liquid Gel Ink Pens to create colorful lettering. If you have calligraphy pens or calligraphy markers you have attempted to write with, bring them with you and receive professional guidance in learning the basics.

In this computer age, a handwritten intimate note, a handwritten poem, or a beautifully addressed invitation is rare. Learning the basics of this creative art is as simple as picking up a ballpoint pen. Unlock the artist within you beginning with this calligraphy class.
