DESCRIPTION: Italic, or Chancery Cursive, is the handwriting of the scribes of the Renaissance, and remains an ever-popular introduction to calligraphy. In this beginner class, students will learn this elegant, graceful alphabet in a step-by-step approach covering basic strokes, minuscules (lower-case letters), capitals, numbers and spacing. Italic is a modern, legible alphabet, frequently used for invitations, envelopes, placecards and other commercial calligraphy, as well as for calligraphic art, such as poetry and prose pieces.MaterialsHiggins Eternal inkBrause 3mm and 2mm nibsPenholder11" x 14" pad of layout paper, (such as Canson Pro-Marker Layout or Bienfang Graphics 360 or Borden and Riley 100% Cotton Comp)Water container and cloth or paper towels.Note: Left-handed students should either get Brause Left-Handed 3mm and 2mm nibs or Speedball Left-Handed C-1 and C-2.
