What to Expect
Ready to take your English Roundhand to the next level? If you are already comfortable with lowercase letters and want to learn how to write those gorgeous, swooping capitals and elegant loops, this course is for you!

Course Content
-
We start by taking the stress out of capital letters (also known as Majuscules). Instead of trying to memorize the whole alphabet at once, we will group the letters by their basic shapes.
The Foundation: Learning the signature "swelling" stroke that gives capital letters their elegant look.
Family Groups: Breaking down the alphabet into friendly families (like the P, B, and R group) so they are much easier to learn.
Finding Your Rhythm: Practicing how to hold your pen and control your pressure for those bigger, bolder strokes.
-
The Final Capitals: Tackling the last few, most decorative letters of the alphabet.
The Secret to Flourishing: Learning how to use invisible oval shapes to make your swoops look natural and balanced.
Where to Flourish: Understanding exactly where to add loops (and where to leave them out) so your writing looks elegant, never cluttered.
Smooth Transitions: Practicing how to gracefully glide into and out of a word.
-
We will pick up the sesson again from where we stopped at session 2.
Letterform Extensions: Moving beyond standard loops for letters like 'l', 'h', 'j', and 'g' to create sophisticated, tapering extensions.
Interaction of Lines: Learning how to "cross" flourishes without creating visual tension or muddiness.
Majestic Capitals: Adding internal and external embellishments to capitals that frame the word and guide the eye.
The Advanced 1-to-1 Experience
Whole-Arm Demonstrations: I will show you the exact shoulder and arm movements required for offhand flourishing that a standard textbook cannot capture.
Bespoke Mastery: At this level, every student has a different "hand." We will focus on the specific flourishes that complement your natural writing rhythm.
A Relaxed Creative Sanctuary: This masterclass is a meditative space to explore your creative boundaries. We work on your schedule, ensuring the process remains enjoyable and stress-free.
Personalized Video Library: Every session is recorded so you can re-watch the momentum of our pens in slow motion during your practice.
Light and airy flourishing always catch my attention, and it makes the piece sounded
