Calligraphy Workshop



Learn how to do italic calligraphy with Rita Ponessa at The Grail.

The Grail Center Presents:
An Introduction to Italic Calligraphy
A Meet The Makers Studio Workshop
Sunday, March 3
1 to 4 pm
at ritaink studio
41 Duncan Ave.
Cornwall on Hudson, NY

In this beginner's workshop we will learn the basic pen strokes needed to form the letters.

Calligraphy is less about writing than it is about drawing and this workshop is a good start to the study of italic lettering. We will be using dip pens and ink.

Participants are asked to bring a pencil, ruler and a small pillow to sit on for proper writing position.

Cost: $40 (includes the cost of paper, nib and holder, ink and teaching materials).Limited to 6 participants.

To register or for more information contact Rita Ponessa: [email protected]

Rita Ponessa has been studying hand lettering for over 30 years and has been a member of the Society of Scribes in Manhattan for 10 years. Her primary focus is on the copperplate and the italic hands. She is the owner of ritaINK in Cornwall on Hudson. Her work is on display at Creative Gifts on Main Street in Cornwall and on her website: http://ritaink.com/RitaINK.com/ritaINK_Home.html.
