Hi Everyone. I'm not quite a Newbie. I took a Chancery (I think that's what it was called) calligraphy class many, many years ago at a Michael's craft store and I used it to address envelopes mostly. Fast forward and I am now at a place in my life where I have time to focus on calligraphy. I've been practicing for about a year. I found Lindsey Bugbee's website first and started having fun there. Now I'm going back to the basics with Eleanor Winters' Mastering Cooperplate Calligraphy. At the moment, I'm involved in a class given by Phyllis Macaluso called Flourishing and Foliates. It is a steep learning curve for me but I think I'm doing okay! Nice to be here on Flourishing Forum.
