Left and Right Handed Beginner's Calligraphy
The class was small (three people), so the instructor could demonstrate technique in an up-close-and-personal manner, providing individual attention to each of us. The workspace was well lighted. There was plenty of room at the table. Above all, the instructor was excellent. She is talented both as a calligrapher and as a teacher. -
