Workshop details
In an increasingly digital age, the joys of a handwritten note or card can be few and far between, yet the love and connection we feel creating, and receiving, something handwritten can be profound. Your thoughts have value - enough to be written in their own unique rhythm. 

There is nothing more brave or beautiful than the intimate expression of a person's own handwriting. Opening up to the stark whiteness of a blank page, quietly waiting for the first vulnerable step of pen touching paper. We speak in print; we sing in cursive.

During this five-part series, Beatriz will share with us her love of handwriting and helping us to capture and develop our own distinct style. This class will see students adding beauty to the everyday - from shopping lists to journal entries, birthday cards to poetry. 

In the first session we are going to learn about the movements of handwriting (fingers, wrist, forearm), the position on the paper, the angle of the script and the posture. In the second and third session, we will learn the minuscules and how to join them.  In sessions four and five, we will focus on the capitals and, if we have time, how to become more expressive in our handwriting.

You will be encouraged to write along with Beatriz live each week and every session will be accompanied by handouts and guidelines.  A video playback service is provided for each class and students will need to practice at home between sessions; Beatriz will offer personal feedback to ensure students are learning in the right way. In calligraphy, practice is the key to success!

Specific skills you will learn at the workshop
  • ​posture, position and movement
  • the American Cursive alphabet - miniscules and capitals
  • how to develop expression in your handwriting
