Hi All
« on: January 20, 2022, 02:33:23 PM »
Hi all.

I'm Rachel from Kent, UK.  I've been interested in calligraphy since childhood but decided 2022 was the year I'd  pick up one of the many hand lettering /calligraphy books I've collected and get stuck in.  My husband bought me a beautiful calligraphy kit for Christmas and since then I've been addicted.  I never realised how meditative it is.  Looking forward to seeing everyone's beautiful work

Hi Rachel,
Yes! I find it very meditative as well. Glad you are off to a good start. What kind of calligraphy are you doing? Broad pen, pointed pen, brush? I like them all! Let us know if you have questions as you go along. Welcome!  :)
Warm Regards,

Thank you Erica.  So far pointed pen is my favourite and the choices of ink are amazing.  I've just started your wonderful copperplate tutorials, which are amazing, thank you.
