In this workshop, you'll learn the tools and techniques of pointed-pen calligraphy as you explore this flowing script. Use it to bring timeless elegance to your correspondence, invitations and art projects. A pointed nib, oblique holder and walnut ink are provided. No previous skills required Level: ALL
