We learnt about the history of copperplate calligraphy, writing pressure and ink control, how to practice with a pencil, how to use an oblique pen, and had plenty of time to practice with letter and word construction. We also got to play around with other inks and colours! Everything we needed was available - ink, nib, pen, practice paper, guides. Wonderful class.
