Master The Magic of Italics

Elegant, expressive, and endlessly adaptable—

Italic calligraphy is the go-to script for both beginners and experienced lettering artists.

In this engaging class, Cheryl introduces you to the art of Italic writing, known for its graceful slant, rhythmic flow, and practical versatility.

You’ll explore the anatomy of the Italic alphabet—learning its angles, spacing, and structure—while also gaining confidence in pen control and letter consistency.

Cheryl’s warm and encouraging teaching style makes this a perfect class for those new to calligraphy, as well as those looking to refine their Italic hand.

Master The Magic of Italics

What you will learn:

- The deceptively simple strokes that make Italic look elegant instead of like it was written during a bumpy bus ride.

- How pen angle, spacing, slant, and rhythm work together to create letters that actually behave themselves.

- How to turn individual letters into beautiful words and quotations without muttering "why does that one look weird?" every three minutes.

- A strong foundation you can build on for years, whether your goal is envelopes, journals, artwork, teaching, or simply making your grocery list look suspiciously sophisticated.

The best part?

This isn't one of those giant workshops where you spend the day wondering if the instructor knows you exist.

Choose the 8 week workshop and you will find that...

Class size is intentionally small.

You'll receive personal feedback, have your questions answered, and get help fixing the tiny things that make the biggest difference.

The things that YouTube videos can't see.

The things that books can't correct.

Whether you're brand new to calligraphy or dusting off skills you haven't used in a while...

you'll leave with better letterforms, more confidence, and at least one moment where you think:

"Wait... I made that?"

And because spaces are limited for all our multi-week workshops, once the class is full, it's full.

Which is unfortunate for procrastinators, but excellent for everyone who likes getting individual attention.
