Hi Karen!

Younghae is great to learn from! Her teaching style is so peaceful & laidback.  I enrolled in her Copperplate class back in Nov 2019, right before my youngest was born, but I never finished it after life got crazy with a newborn, COVID, etc.  Maybe I'll try to pick it back up this summer!  Welcome to the Forum

Open Flourish | General Discussion / Any calligraphers on Clubhouse?

« on: January 20, 2021, 06:42:06 AM »

Hello friends!

There is a new social app called Clubhouse - it is still in beta for iphone & by invitation-only.  The idea is 100% audio-based; you create a profile and can join "rooms" where members discuss a particular topic or interest.  You may join in the conversation if you like, or simply listen on mute.  It's been a great place so far to learn & network.  I'd love to start a group (separate from the wedding industry pros & artists) for us calligraphers to chat!
I do have a couple invitations left, so please private message me if you'd like one.  Otherwise, if you are already a member (or have invites to share), please drop in below! 

Here is my username: @karlykassay

Teela has so much great knowledge & a wealth of resources!  I also highly recommend her tutorials to anyone looking to learn Procreate. Her Fall 2020 series was especially beautiful to create!

Tools & Supplies / Re: When do you retire a nib?

@nicole.t  good to know that someone else has the same issue with Brause EF 66!  That’s recently become my go-to nib for a variety of projects, and I thought I was doing something wrong when the nibs seemed to wear out so quickly!

Favorite Resources / East Coast Calligraphy Supply Co in NJ

« on: June 17, 2020, 04:40:46 PM »

I’d like to share this awesome calligraphy shop in Collingswood, New Jersey - East Coast Calligraphy Supply Co. It’s a total gem very close to Philadelphia & I don’t think enough NJ/PA/DE calligraphers know about it! The owner & really every staff member I’ve spoken to has always been so knowledgeable & willing to help you choose the right paper, nibs, inks, etc. They’re having a grand re-opening this Saturday 6/20. I’ll link below & post their flyer. Https://www.eccsupply.com

Introductions / Hello from KarlyK!

I wanted to say hi & introduce myself - I’m Karly & I live in Marlton, South Jersey.  I’m on instagram KarlyK_Calligraphy .  I’ve been learning calligraphy for the past few years & just recently joined the Phl Calligrapher’s Society.  Hopefully when the pandemic passes & we can all meet in person again, I hope to meet more calligraphers from our area.  In the mean time, it’s nice to know this amazing community is available as well!

And what a great episode it was!  I loved hearing about the origins of the forum and was introduced to Calligraphy Crush magazine.  Somehow I had no idea it existed 😆 but now I’m going to be checking out all the back issues!  Thanks Erica, Christen, & Ajab!

Hello Lyric!

We have a lot in common! I started learning calligraphy with Becca back in 2018 & started learning Copperplate with Logos last Fall.  I didn’t complete the entire course, as my 2nd son was born in November, but I’m hoping to restart on Monday (6/15/20).  I’ll look for you in the Copperplate Foundations course community   Welcome to the forum, too!
