🌻Let’s Create Some Fancy Flourishing!

Ornamental Decorative Flourishing is one of the most challenging and rewarding skills that a calligrapher can acquire. But how is it successfully done?

Join us on July 11th and 18th on Zoom to find out!

In this class, Kathy Milici will combine both history and artistry as we explore the world of flourished names. Students will learn the fundamental techniques of flourishing signature graceful curves, concentric ovals, and gentle direction changes.

As a final project, you will create a beautifully rendered pen and ink composition! Both decorative and useful, our goal in flourishing names and words is to achieve a balanced, harmonious and visually beautiful look, while maintaining the overall integrity and readability of the letterforms.
