INSTRUCTOR
Grab your pen and let's get started!
This is a complete course that will take you from A to Z (quite literally) in learning and mastering this fundamental style of calligraphy. To quote a master (Edward Johnston), once you learn a round-hand (like this one), mastering other scripts, be they straight or sloping, will be relatively easy!
But, let’s not put the cart before the horse. We’ll study the Foundational Hand, letter by letter. The alphabet is broken down into groups and the letters are presented out-of-(alphabetical)-order. The idea is to study similar letters together. After a brief introduction and some must-have technical information, you’ll do some warm-up exercises before going on to learn each of the 26 letters of our alphabet, first in lowercase, then in uppercase. And, so that you’ll be able to address an envelope or write a phone number in Foundational Hand, we’ll also learn how to write numbers in this style of calligraphy.
