Written By Molly Suber Thorpe

Join me for a Saturday afternoon, Beginner’s Workshop in modern, script calligraphy at Gray Mist Studio & Shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts!

This class is three hours long and will cover all the basics of modern script calligraphy, from holding the pen to writing the complete lowercase alphabet. Absolutely no previous calligraphy experience is required. The workshop is hands-on using all the traditional materials such as pointed nibs, pen holders and ink.

All the supplies you'll need for the workshop, including a take-home kit and packet of letter samples, are included in the ticket price:

  • 3 pen nibs
  • 1 straight pen holder
  • 1 oblique pen holder
  • 1 pad of quality paper
  • 1 jar of black ink
  • A sampler with practice strokes and letter specimens
  • A handout of recommended suppliers and other resources
