Discover the beauty and rhythm of Copperplate script in this focused 4-hour workshop dedicated to minuscules (lowercase letters). Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your foundational skills, this session will guide you through the elegant shapes, basic strokes, and consistent spacing that form the heart of traditional pointed pen calligraphy. This workshop pairs perfectly with the Copperplate Majuscules session, which runs separately in the same format. If you'd like to continue your Copperplate journey, a separate Majuscules session is also available to book.

Take your calligraphy to the next level with this 4-hour session devoted to majuscules (capital letters). We’ll explore classical capital forms, entry strokes, and how to add grace and flourish to your writing. This session is ideal for those who have taken the minuscules workshop or already have some experience with pointed pen calligraphy. A separate Minuscules session is also available to book if you’d like to start from the beginning or strengthen your foundation.

Step back in time with this 4-hour workshop exploring the timeless beauty of Uncial script, a rounded, majuscule hand used in medieval manuscripts. You'll learn to form the elegant, flowing letterforms that give Uncial its distinct charm, while also covering spacing, rhythm, and pen angle. This session is suitable for beginners and calligraphy enthusiasts looking to expand their broad-edge lettering skills.
