COPPERPLATE SCRIPT
Kestrel Montes, Instructor
REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CURRENTLY CLOSED.
Students brand new to Copperplate will learn the details of the script in order to practice effectively. Students who have prior experience with Copperplate will learn to hone their skills and further polish and "perfect" their letterforms.
Copperplate is the most widely recognized traditional calligraphy script and, thus, a must-have in every calligrapher's skillset. Even if you are a lover of Modern calligraphy, learning Copperplate will greatly enhance the beauty of your other hands!
You will learn the foundational structure and form of Copperplate script. We'll break down the details and learn to evaluate our own script to identify areas of improvement. We'll learn all the upper and lowercase letters as well as alternate variations for adding visual interest to your writing!

About Kestrel
Kestrel Montes is a woman of many skills; in calligraphy, in education and in business. Before being a full time calligrapher, Kestrel's formal career was in education with a master's degree in educational leadership.
In 2014, Kestrel and her husband, Francisco, decided to make a change. Together they founded the company INKMETHIS, which specializes in luxury calligraphy supplies, custom stamps, and engraved gifts. Francisco creates a line of gorgeous, hand-turned pens. Kestrel has gone on to train with top calligraphers and has an active lettering studio as well as continuing with the company. (I seriously think Kestrel never sleeps.) They have expanded their business to now include engraving tools and online classes as well.
