Modern Calligraphy Workshop (In Person) | Minneapolis College of Art and Design

Modern Calligraphy Workshop (In Person)

This relaxed studio class is for those ready to explore the fundamentals of modern calligraphy. The class covers writing posture, ink control, and composition, but the focus is on developing a natural style. Open to ages 16 and above.

Course Description

With modern calligraphy, experiment with ways to embellish and compose natural handwriting rather than striving for traditional uniform standards. Learn to control the ink in order to gain the ability to write in whichever style feels most natural and appeals to your aesthetic sensibility. As a result, class time is mainly an environment of practice and experimentation where the pace is set by each student. After initial lettering demonstrations, the instructor is available for technique coaching, advice, and discussion as much or as little as each individual requires. / Materials fee of $46 is included in course tuition.

Open to students ages 16 and above. Review complete policies, including class cancellation policies, before completing your registration.
