In "The Power of Penmanship," students will learn to write using the American Cursive Handwriting system, created by Master Penman Michael Sull, and explore the history of cursive handwriting in the United States.

  • Dates: Tuesdays, September 29, October 6, October 13, October 20

  • Location: Wyoming Fine Arts Center

    *ages 15, 16, and 17 must be accompanied by an adult. we offer flexible ages for the adult workshop for those who are looking for something fun to do with their teen kid.

We will discuss finger versus whole-arm movement, posture, how to warm up, and the basic strokes for the letterforms. We will explore each letter, starting with the lowercase letters, then the capitals. Finally, we will learn common ligatures and put words and entire sentences together. 

The class is geared towards students with minimal cursive experience and will be fun, fast-paced, and interactive. ALSO, we will be using your very own fountain pen throughout the class! Each participant will receive their own fountain pen and ink refill cartridges and learn how to refill, clean and maintain them - you may never use a ballpoint pen ever again.

All materials and supplies are included in the program cost. Participants will leave the class with starter calligraphy supplies to take home.

NOTE: This class was rescheduled. It was originally scheduled for 10:00-12:00 Tuesdays from September 15-October 6. We apologize for any inconvenience the new dates and times may cause.
