Welcome to the world of patterns and borders! Let’s adventure together and explore linear decoration based on traditional styles and design our own modern versions!

In this class, you’ll learn the step-by-step process of creating beautiful borders and frames with rich visual impact like: Autumn leaves, ferns, feathers, rose vine, buttons, bubbles, pierced ribbon, ocean wave, woven, braided, geometric…and so much more!

In this 2-day class, you’ll be guided through the step-by-step process of creating this charming and casual script alphabet style that gives a fresh, modern twist to the traditional alphabet.

First, you’ll learn a series of simple strokes that will help you familiarize yourself with these whimsical letterforms; then you’ll proceed to lower case letters, upper case capitals and ligatures. You’ll learn how to see letters in a very different way, while playing with form and creating your own style! What could be more fun?

Never tried calligraphy before? This class is the perfect place to start! You’ll learn from a seasoned calligrapher and teacher, who knows what it’s like to be an eternal student! 

Dates don't work for you? No worries! You'll have unlimited access to the playback videos for 60 days!

This class only happens once a year, so don’t miss it! Hosted by Maureen Vickery, Have Pens Will Dazzle.
