Engrosser’s Script is a formal form of copperplate calligraphy from around the turn of the 20th century. It is characterized by bold strokes and graceful curves. The main audience for this class are those who have taken a weekend pointed pen class and are wondering, “Now what?” However, this class is still accessible to anyone who wants to begin their pointed pen journey. Through learning this historic script style, students will improve their fine-motor skills and pen control.
