June 21st – Chancery Script

Saturday, June 21st – Chancery Script by Liz Margetts

Our very own Liz Margetts will be instructing us on Chancery script. It is also know as Italic Script. It is a popular and elegant style of calligraphy developed during the Italian Renaissance. Chancery Script is characterized by its slightly sloped, semi-cursive letterforms and is a great choice for beginners due to its beautiful simplicity and legibility. 

Liz has been lettering for over 40 years. She is a great instructor and has taught at the Community College, at our guild meetings and done individual instruction. We are very pleased to be able to learn from her.

If time permits, we will be making a booklet out of a file folder with several pages for taking notes or putting down ideas for an exhibit piece.
