Hello from Greece!

[Despoina]

Hello everyone! My name is Despoina and I am from Greece. I picked up a pen for the first time on February. After one class of modern calligraphy and some playing around while learning and observing more what I like and what I don't, I started learning Copperplate. After trying a bit on my own, I finally got some workbooks and I feel like I am in a better track! I am still on the majuscules, but I am getting in love with it more and more each day. I also have got some classes for off-hand flourishing. I slowly getting better I think, in everything, but I sill have a really long way to go! I only have to be a bit more consisent that's for sure. I am so happy that I found you guys and I am looking forward to learn from everything and everyone here!
