Hi Erica,
I've always enjoyed writing in the sense of creating letter shapes but I wasn't initially very interested in calligraphy (this was in my experience supposed to look like italic, except no one told you what that really meant, and you did it with a chisel felt tip pen). Then, at some point last year, I dimly became aware that calligraphy meant a whole host of other things too. The modern styles don't entirely suit me, and in some respects the strictly traditional don't appeal either (though I've seen beautiful examples of both).
I'm learning a version of copperplate at the moment with Logos Calligraphy (the course is traditional copperplate, but I've decided I prefer a more upright slant so I'm doing that, though the principles and discipline still apply). I find the detailed explanations and examples used on the course suit me well.
I'm quite excited to see where the journey takes me.
TTFN,
Karen
