Italic Calligraphy Classes starting January 3. Start at the beginning,
get a refresher, improve your handwriting or learn a variety of
lettering styles with pen and ink or brush and color. Small classes
in my Hawthorne district studio on Tuesdays at 7 pm, also Saturday
at 2 pm. $15/class - supplies included. No experience necessary.
Individual instruction - work at your own rate of speed. I studied
with Lloyd Reynolds in the 60s and am still passing on his enthusiasm
for the written word.
