Hello
« on: September 26, 2017, 06:55:08 PM »
Hi everybody.  I've been trying my hand at calligraphy for not quite a year now.  At first I tried modern calligraphy, but I have decided to concentrate on copperplate and italic.  I am doing this so I can get a really good foundation.  Both hands are so beautiful and I find practicing very relaxing.  This looks like a great site to learn along side other people doing the same!

Hi Teresa,
I started with Italic and Blackletter and then moved onto Copperplate many years later. They are all such different hands but equally fun to learn. There are plenty of resources for both hands on Flourish so have a look around and let us know if you have any questions. Welcome!
Warm Regards,

Hi Teresa,

Welcome! I'm pretty new here myself  :) I started learning calligraphy earlier this year too, and opted to stick with copperplate to build on a proper foundation as well.
