You’ve learned Italic.

Now what?

Italic is one of the most flexible, expressive hands in calligraphy.

But most people only scratch the surface.

This workshop is about going further.

We’ll start by tightening what you already know—refining your forms, sharpening your rhythm, and strengthening the structure behind every letter.

Then we open it up.

You’ll explore variations in scale, weight, proportion, and movement—learning how small shifts create entirely new voices on the page.

Along the way, we’ll draw from the Renaissance masters who shaped Italic into what it is today—using their work not as something to copy, but as a foundation to build from.

The goal isn’t more rules.
It’s more control.
More range.
And a hand that feels distinctly your own.
