Intro - New Member from Augusta, Georgia
« on: April 07, 2018, 04:47:21 PM »
Hi.  Recently retired IT professional, I have recently rediscovered how much I love calligraphy.  I took a year of it in high school and then got busy with my life.  Now that I have lots of extra time (although it still seems like there are not enough hours in the day), I picked up a pointed pen (did broad pen italic in school) and am absolutely loving it.  Can't wait to get much better.  I try to practice at least 2 hours per day.  I'm looking forward to taking an online class with Ink Academy and learn from other members in this forum.

Welcome Toni!  There definitely are not enough hours in the day, but calligraphy practice is a great way to spend an hour or two. ;)

Hello Toni,

Broad pen was my first tool when I started in calligraphy too. Welcome to the forum!

Hi Toni. Welcome!

I envy you, I wish I could spend 2 hours a day on calligraphy. I try to make up for it on the weekends though.
