Calligraphy for Botanical Artists with Molly Kunkel
Enhance your botanical artwork and journals with the beautiful art of calligraphy!
In this beginner’s class we will engage with the shapes and forms that create calligraphy letterforms. You will walk away with knowledge on using the unique tools involved in dip pen calligraphy, traditional pointed pen and broad edge lettering styles, paper and ink choices and more! I've been teaching beginner calligraphers for more than 10 years and love sharing all the knowledge I have gathered in my 15 years as a professional calligrapher. I’ll take time with each student to provide you with techniques and tips to further your skills. My goal is to help you begin a journey in calligraphy that continues to flourish.
Supplies:
- 1 ZIG Calligraphy Dual-Tipped Marker MS-3400 (any color)
- 2-3 Pointed Nibs of your choice. I recommend a Zebra G, Hiro 41 and Brause 361
- 2-3 Broad edge Nibs. 1 Speedball C Nib Size 2 and 1 Mitchell Nib Size 2.5.
- 1 Dip Pen Calligraphy Holder. I recommend a dual use option such as the Workshop pen holder from John Neal Books or the Manuscript 2 in 1 Holder.
- 1 Pad of 9 x 12 Canson Marker Layout Paper.
- 1 Bottle of Sumi Ink. JNB and PIA both carry the Moon Palace Sumi ink in a variety of size options. A one ounce jar will be plenty for the class.
- 1 Pentel Sign Pen with a Brush Tip (any color)
