Engrosser’s Script is a formal form of copperplate calligraphy from the turn of the 20th century. It is characterized by bold strokes and graceful curves. These modular strokes make this the perfect script for learning what the pointed pen is truly capable of.

This class focuses on improving fine motor skills and pen control. All levels of lettering experience are welcome.

• Oblique pen holder with metal flange
