Ever watch a calligrapher write and think, “I wish I could do that!” Get ready to unlock the myths of creating this beautiful art form. Calligraphy is simply knowing how to put together basic strokes to create letters and then words. You will learn these strokes and how to put it all together so that you can confidently make your own cards, gifts and other special projects.
You’re invited to participate in an in-depth, three-part series that will provide you with the guidance and time needed to develop this skill.
By participating in this class, all the basics of pointed pen calligraphy are covered, under the careful tutelage of calligrapher Jana Ricci. There is a commitment to meet once a week for 3 consecutive weeks so there is time for learning, practicing, critiquing and producing projects in greater depth. The greatest gift in this course is the opportunity for critique. Many times, bad habits are formed, which can derail a whole project.
Your $60 program fee ($20/class) includes all materials, a practice book, your own pen and ink, and ideas for projects. By the end of this course, you’ll learn the skills needed to master lower case and capital letters, as well as an introduction and inspiration to create your own style and flourishes.
Program note: You will register once for all three classes. We are unable to offer single class registration since each class will build upon skills from the previous lessons.
This program is presented by Jana Ricci and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.

Calligraphy also gave her the outlet she yearned for at that time– to slow down. She discovered it to be great for relaxing, reflecting and making something beautiful.
