Creative Retreat Live 2022

 Constructing Consistency in Your Calligraphy

MARCH 5, 2022 @ 10 AM PST

I’m so excited to be part of this year’s retreat! I’ll be teaching how to evaluate your own work and what exercises you can do to explore your tendencies on the page, ⁣with the hope and aim of discovering your own traditional style in the process. I’ll be demonstrating using Engrosser’s Script, but the lesson can also be applied to Copperplate. 

This lesson is going to be streamed on the last day, March 5th at 10 am PST (11:30 pm IST) and I would love to see you there in the chat!

MATERIALS NEEDED:  

• Oblique or straight pen holder

• Pointed nib

• Calligraphy ink

• Paper suitable for pointed pen

Maxie analyzes the letters just the way Sherlock studies crime scenes. I've gained a lot of insight about my own work with the help of her feedback!

Maxie's keen eye for detail ensures that we are able to fully comprehend the different styles and approaches to the script in order to form our own!

What I love most about Maxie is that she draws your attention to a particular thing without really enforcing her ideas or suggestions on you. It gives you a chance to improve while keeping your style of executing the script intact.

—Tarandeep @letterandtell

Maxie has the magic power of breaking things down to atomic levels and then building them back up in manner that's easy to understand and a joy to follow. In addition to her sharp skills and ever-growing knowledge of the pen, Maxie's kindness, generosity, and natural ability to lead makes her truly one of a kind and a pleasure to know.

Remember, this is a completely free event but if you can’t make it live, not to worry, there is the Permanent Vacation option that lets you have access to all the classes at any time!

See you there!
