  • Introduction to Copperplate

    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.

    Really good foundational course to take when starting out in calligraphy. Highly recommend it. The instructor did arrive a little late and she forgot her pen holders and a few other things, but otherwise, the classes were worth taking.

    Instructor Kathy Milici was AWESOME! Very patient, knowledgable and just all around INCREDIBLE. She made me feel very capable and inspired to continue. Would definitely take a class with her again.

    This was one of the best classes I took. Deborah Dick is an excellent, devoted teacher, and a ver nice person. I hope I'll have a chance to take other courses with her. A truly wonderful experience.
