~Cursive Writing with Everyday Pens and Heat Pen Foiling~
Do you want to get more enjoyment out of your favorite glass pens, fountain pens, and the pens you already own?
This 8-session course will delve deeply into "monoline cursive" (uniform line thickness) enjoyed with all kinds of everyday writing instruments.
In the first half, with your favorite writing instrument in hand, you will thoroughly learn everything from strokes that bring out the beauty of letters to the balance of words and phrases, and even shading that adds rich expression to lines.
Then, in December, we will move on to the technique of "foiling using a heat pen."
In the new year, you will create and present a graduation project, incorporating all the techniques you've refined.
For everyone who loves to write, we offer 10 months filled with the joy of handwriting. A "certificate of completion" will be awarded at the end of the course.
