Do you admire beautiful, hand-written script? Interested in finding out how it is done? Anne Elser, a private calligraphy instructor, who has been featured in books and magazines across the country, and for both private and corporate clients such as Tiffany&Co, Louis Vuitton, Pace Papers, Martha Stewart Weddings, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, and Speedball to name a few will be demonstrating various calligraphy scripts. Starting with a portfolio tour, she will take us through her stunning work and then demonstrate using the pointed pen for the principles of European Copperplate/English Round Hand, and Spencerian. Then she will demonstrate Monoline Writing using a glass dip pen and vibrate colors for letter lovers of all ages. And for a special treat, she will close this demonstration out with a script she created, the Open Shaded Script, recently celebrated in the Speedball Textbook 25th edition. We hope you will join us for this amazing FREE demonstration lecture with Anne Elser!
