Embarking on Copperplate

I’ve enrolled in a copperplate calligraphy correspondence course. The first lesson arrived today.

This had had always fascinated me, but I’ll also admit to being a bit put off by its fussiness. No matter. Now I’m going to be spending my evenings working at a 70° 55° slant, perfecting the art of allowing spreading tines to make a perfect square top.

I’ll let you know how I get on.
