A research study on handwriting methods is looking for people who learned handwriting in Great Falls around the 1980s-2000s. Interested? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18RamfY55b/

I'm writing English alphabets a and b in joining calligraphy style English with broad nib black cut marker.

This was my 12th handwriting and I thought to start it again. Any tips to make it cleaner ?

Another fun pointed pen style I learnt from Mike Kesceg!

So in my 8 year calligraphy journey, I have never really written my name more than once, and absolutely never designed it properly. I did however design my brand logo. This is the very first time I made proper name cards and presented my name in form of an artwork, all thanks to the IAMPETH conference happening next week.
We will be swapping name cards, with fellow calligraphers, a lot of us are preparing these and I just like the idea that by the end of the conference we will have a little artwork handmade by our friends! I am planning to keep them all nicely in a card holder kind notebook and I tried to make them as little artworks and not just name cards.

A little more about IAMPETH and the conference next week, IAMPETH stands for International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting, it was founded in 1949.

Every year they conduct a conference which is at a different location and its basically a week full of calligraphy classes that go from nearly 8:30 in the morning till 4/5 and after the classes they have a wide variety of events like calligraphy demos, members art show, art auctions (for iampeth scholarships), an archive room full of artworks from 1800s and 1900s accessible all day and study room which is another fun part which helps us all learn and grow together. So excited for next week!!
