Copperplate Calligraphy offered by the University of California, Riverside Extension

The University of California, Riverside has scheduled an introductory class for Copperplate Calligraphy. Here's a link to a publicity flier, published by the southern California Society for Calligraphy:

Other calligraphy classes are planned for the fall and beyond, including a second session of Copperplate, as well as a session of Gothic.

Copperplate Collage

Artwork put together to promote the Intro to Copperplate class that I'm scheduled to teach for the University of California, Riverside extension. The class covers the basics, but variations will be shown and could be covered in a future class.

This is mostly old stuff. I'm working on some new samples--my formal copperplate is neater these days.

I've also been asked to teach a six-hour Orange County workshop on the "funky" lettering developed for my journals, as seen on the lower left. We're hoping to schedule for early spring, working around my other teaching commitments.
