Hi my name is Brenda and today we are going to be talking about calligraphy. Calligraphy
is the art of beautiful writing and is as old as writing itself. It links us today with
past cultures and extinct civilization. It survived the dark ages and the cloistered
monks. The items that we would be using today for our calligraphy exercise are a calligraphy
pen such as this one. We have various nibs we can use for the lettering. We have different
cartridges of colored ink. These can also be bought separately when we run out of ink
in this type of container. We also have a lined tablet and our little instruction manual
that comes with the set to help us get on our way. Calligraphy is a lot of fun and it
can be used to make beautiful wedding invitations or school announcements or diplomas or Christmas
cards. You can add a flair to any of your writing. It is easy to learn and it is quite
exquisite when you receive an envelope in the mail that has calligraphy and your name
written on it.
