Calligraphy with Brenda Thelan

Calligraphy is an artistic writing style where pressure is varied to create thick and thin lines, all in a single stroke. Learn writing that is extravagant and embellished with flourishes. Your new skills are great for making an impression. Use it on invitations, greeting cards, scrapbooking, or creating a new stylistic signature!
