PART 2

Majuscules

Beginner Copperplate-style Course

taught by D'Ann Zickau

This is a continuation of Beginner Copperplate-style course. Part 2 is a 4-week course designed to focus on the majuscule letters and be an introduction to flourishing. 

Meeting Dates

Fridays, 1:00PM-3:00PM

August 1, 8, 15, 22, 2025

We will meet in-person at D'Ann Zickau's home. Space is limited to 4 students. If there is a waiting list, another class will be scheduled on Thursdays of the same weeks.

Prerequisite

The only prerequisite is that you have taken Part 1 or have had good instruction and practice on the structure of Copperplate, especially the minuscules (lowercase letters).  You are free to bring your own supplies.  All handouts are provided, and extra basic supplies are available for purchase before class at a discounted rate.

Instruction includes demonstration of all majuscule (uppercase) letters, numerals, basic flourishing, envelope addressing, practice tips, and practical homework assignments.  A finished, frameable quote will be our final project.

To receive comprehensive, individual feedback on practice work, students are encouraged to upload photos of their work to Padlet or by email. In-person feedback during class is available but limited due to class time.  We will use Padlet as our home for all class notes, recordings, bonus material, and instructor input. 

In addition to Friday class instruction and Padlet feedback, students can Zoom me anytime during the week to ask questions or watch a quick demo.

This class is designed to teach you the basics of a copperplate style of calligraphy and to encourage you as a serious student of the craft.

• Oblique pen holder
• Nibs--Zebra G, Nikko G, or Hunt 22 are recommended, but you may use any flexible pointed pen nib you are comfortable using.
