About the Course
$99 per person. Pre-register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/finding-your-handwriting-style-tickets:915454357627?aff+oddtdtcreator. This course is designed to unchain you from copybook tracing, and the endless hours spent forcing your writing to look like someone else's. Connie will help you uncover and cultivate what it means to write like YOU by harnessing the principles of penmanship. You will learn how to THINK about the structural makeup of a-z so you understand the relationships letters share with one another. You will unsee letters as letters but as groups of shapes you can adjust, refine, and exaggerate to express who you are on the page. You will learn how to critically analyze elements from your current cursive/handwriting and grow your creative confidence to discern what to change and what to keep. You will learn how to hone the building blocks of your letterforms to create harmony and consistency. Our time together will alternate between lectures and live analysis of student work so you can experience time what's possible for the ink that flow from the pen you wield.
Supplies: Ruler, lined writing paper, any monoline writing tool (pencil, fountain pen, gel pen...etc).
