  • I loved this class! It was just marvelous. And I loved hearing about some of the history of copperplate as well. Laura Di Piazza is an absolutely terrific teacher and calligrapher. She really couldn't have been better--she was super professional, but very kind and funny. I left the class feeling so encouraged and incredibly excited about the art of calligraphy and where it might lead.

  • She was thorough, and she knew the subject matter. She explained the material in a way that you would understand it. I am a beginner with calligraphy subject matter, and I was a little embarrassed to show my work. She made me feel comfortable, if though my work wasn't "good". She explained how it takes time to learn calligraphy, and gave an example of what happened to her when she first started. I would definitely retake this class, and also recommend it to someone.
  • I enjoyed the class! Good teacher...I learned a lot in 2 hours.
  • Elizabeth is a great teacher, I’ve enjoyed the class so much , that I’ve been back for the second course. If you would like to learn calligraphy, it’s the best way to start!

  • I had a great time in this Modern Calligraphy course. Margaret Fu was patient and informative, giving everyone individual attention and assistance. The class was easy-going and went by fast. We left with practice materials, useful tips, ink, a nib, and a nib holder. I would definitely recommend this class to others.
  • Amazing techniques and coverage of the materials. Look forward to also receiving my follow up resources. Fun class!
  • Excellent session; Jade was terrific - highly skilled and knowledgeable - one can say she is a "master" level teacher and craft person; very engaging, encouraging and caring about the students in her class. She even makes herself very available after class for additional questions and tips. This was my first course house experience and I thought it was top notch. She inspired me to really want to advance my own skills in modern calligraphy through daily practice and work.
  • Fun, small (10-ish people) class with lots of hands on practicing. You get a workbook and a brush pen for yourself. Note: this takes place at a cafe in flatiron, not at the wework in midtown like coursehorse has listed.
  • I appreciated the intimate size of the group and how relaxing it was to practice this beautiful way to write.
  • Wonderful class! Wonderful teacher!
  • The instructor was very nice and nice skills to takeaway.
  • Jessica was very good at breaking the art of calligraphy down into easy-ish-to-follow steps. I say "ish" since it will take practice after all. She paused often in between steps to make sure the class was following and happily repeated anything that someone was stuck on.
  • Great class, great teacher. Very patient and helpful.
  • Good evening, this class was great. The instructor was very knowledgeable about the topic. She made me feel at ease while giving everyone encouragement about the topic. I greatly appreciated how she let all the students know that this is a process that will take time and patience. My fiancée and I loved this class.

  • Loved how enthusiastic and prepared jade was.
  • The class was beyond wonderful!! Jade, our teacher was amazing- she taught us sooo much and also encouraged and inspired us.

I plan to continue with the Calligraphy and can’t wait to take more of Jade’s classes.
  • This class was very enjoyable. Jade is a wonderful teacher who took the time to explain everything and gave extra individual help, as necessary. Her materials are well thought out and will provide useful references for at home practice. I appreciate her sharing her experiences and providing so much inspiration.
