MY ONLINE LIVE WORKSHOPS

are based on my in-person workshops. Over 30 years teaching calligraphy has given me an abundance of class materials and experience. The topics will be varied, and include classic copperplate, spencerian, and italic forms, beginning to advanced,  more modern interpretations and casual alphabets, flourishing, and watercolor painting.
