I have always been fascinated by calligraphy. I love my handwriting and using it to make pretty things and on Saturday I was able to take it to the next level by finally taking a calligraphy class. I had done some research in the end of January and found a class that happened to be in Dallas right as I was coming home for spring break. I went to sign up and the class was full! I got on the waitlist, doubtful of anything happening. Fortunately for me, someone canceled! And less than a week before the class, I was able to sign up. So this past Saturday morning, I spent two hours at Paper Source in Plano taking a Design Roots Calligraphy class by Heather Bloem. It was an incredible morning as we learned the basics of using the quill, nibs, and ink. Heather had created her very own practice book and we went through the whole lowercase alphabet. Heather went around to each student and gave them whatever help and tips they needed. It was casual, fun, and an incredible learning experience. I can't wait to keep practicing and hopefully adding something things to the shop soon!
