New from North Carolina
« on: January 09, 2021, 10:53:39 AM »
I'm Mary Ann from North Carolina.  I am new here.  I have been a closet artist I think and now and working my way to the surface.  I have loved lettering and calligraphy for years but in the past few months have started taking classes and following people and groups on social media to learn.  The more I see the more I desire.  I hope to learn as much as I can here.  I just started copperplate and oh my, its not easy!  Thanks for this forum.

Hi Mary Ann,
Glad to hear you are making it to the surface! So much in the sea. Copperplate is difficult but once you break it down into strokes, then it's just a matter of learning how each stroke makes up each letter and practice, practice, practice!

Let us know if you have questions as you go along.
Welcome!
Warm Regards,
Erica
