Copperplate calligraphy for beginners
« on: June 28, 2018, 08:46:13 AM »
Over a year ago, I've decided to make my own wedding invitations, so I've started learning copperplate from scratch. I feel like I've learned enough during this time to offer advice to people just starting out with calligraphy. I've made a video about it and it covers basic tools, what to buy and tips when you're just getting started.

I really hope it can help newcomers and I'll be happy to help with any questions. As I'm planning on doing more videos about calligraphy in the future, any comments or suggestions are appreciated as well. Thank you!

You can find the video here:

Thank you for the info!  I enjoyed your YouTube video. I have finally started to practise more, and had purchased the same book you referred to last year. It’s a great book for learning Copperplate 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you for sharing this info. I am a newbie and I think this can give a heads up on how to start.
