Master class on calligraphy

Writing with pen and ink is a delicate work, requiring a good eye, a strong hand and great finger sensitivity. Nowadays, a pointed pen writing is equal to art, although in previous times children were taught it in elementary school. The skill of unhurried writing consonant with the rhythm of breathing, with its focus on smooth plastic lines and aesthetic forms of letters, improves children’s assiduity, willpower, and, most importantly, their ability to see and create beauty. The participants of the master class will perform several introductory exercises, calligraphic gamuts, and make a greeting card based on them.

The master class will be conducted by Tatiana Petrenko, a graduate of the Philological Faculty of St. Petersburg State University. She started her studies at the School of Calligraphy under the guidance of P.P. Chobitko in 2008, and a year later she started working at the School along with studying. From 2010 till 2012 she studied calligraphy in Great Britain and Belgium. Since 2013 she has been employed as a tutor by the Calligraphy Art Center “From AZ to IZHITSA”.
