Calligraphic Style of Copperplate Script.
Join Nikola Pang and learn the beautiful calligraphic style of copperplate script! Copperplate calligraphy, also known as roundhand, engrosser’s, and engraver’s script, is considered by most to be the mother of all pointed pen hands. This course is geared towards beginners but those with more experience may attend it as a refresher course and I do my best to teach to the level of each individual in the second half of the course (plus it’s always nice to have experienced attendees help).

After Hours Events – Pen Shows After Dark Vintage Edition
For many of us, the best part of fountain pens is getting that great writing experience from a beautiful pen. But when it comes older or vintage pens, however, many feel discouraged from pursuing the same experience we get from modern or contemporary pens. Not only can we use vintage pens, but they often offer a unique and beautiful writing experience that make an excellent addition to your modern pen collection. So join us for a vintage edition of “Pen Shows After Dark” featuring a smorgasbord of pens made before the year 2000 for you to try out.
Sheaffer and Aurora inks will be available to sample courtesy of Kenro Industries, and Endless Regalia paper samples will be available courtesy of Luxury Brands of America.
