Welcome to An Introduction to Copperplate Calligraphy! – An in depth workshop to learn and understand the fundamentals of this beautiful script.
In these 2 days, we will dive into the core fundamentals of Calligraphy, understanding the world of pointed pen calligraphy specifically. We will learn about the history of Copperplate calligraphy, the tools and supplies used, moving onto important concepts such as muscle memory, posture and position, hand movements, and more. We then tackle the fundamental strokes, lowercase and uppercase letters and finally move into forming words and sentences!
As a commercial calligrapher in India over the past few years, I have seen Copperplate Calligraphy become a favorite among corporates, brands, brides and people who seek to get something very beautifully and elegantly penned down. While I have been studying this script for a while now and have had the privilege of learning from the best teachers across the world, I'm thrilled to be able to share this knowledge with you.
In general, it's safe to say that Calligraphy is an artform that is quite technical in nature and requires patience, attention to detail and precision as we work with specific angles, guidelines and shapes. Whether you are an absolute beginner or a returning intermediate, we’ve got you covered!
I look forward to spending 2 days with you, immersing ourselves into the beautiful world of Copperplate Calligraphy!

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR FOR THE WORKSHOP
I’m Sanjana Chatlani! Your instructor for this workshop!
When I started in 2018, there were no concrete resources or instructors, good quality tools and supplies or a community to learn with. Fast forward six years, I’m thrilled to be able to teach the script I love so much - Copperplate Calligraphy, its one of the most versatile scripts I have come across and I hope you enjoy learning it as much I enjoy teaching it to you.
​
Calligraphy started as a creative outlet alongside my corporate job at Louis Vuitton and has now turned into a thriving 7-figure business. But it didn’t happen overnight. Some mistakes were made and lessons were learnt.
​
I share all of that and more in this two day workshop with you where I help you learn calligraphy from the very beginning and I'm here to lend a hand and help you overcome any obstacles that might come your way.
