July Calliarts - Copperplate Decoration

 Dear Members,

Don't let winter give you the blues, come along have a fun time with Copperplate Decoration at Calligraphy Southscribes with Valerie.

Copperplate decoration is about learning the shapes/ marks a flexible pen can make and will add to your calligraphic skills.

The shapes are used to fill in letters or any specific shape eg. animals and flowers to make a pleasing picture.  Easier to do than traditional flourishing and use of colour gives a modern feeling.  A very relaxing way to enjoy a scribes Calliart afternoon on 13 th July.
