Elegantly Engrossed is a series of lettering workshops on the exquisite Engrosser’s Script that comprises two sessions: one on minuscules (i.e. lowercase letters) and the other one on majuscules (i.e. capital letters).

No matter which session you are joining, our goal is simple – to go back to the basics of Engrosser’s Script. Together we will start with an introduction to the tools and the language used by calligraphers, some of our favourite warming up exercises, then we will look at the fundamental strokes of this Script, the basic rules governing the letter forms and how to intelligently practise writing the Script on your own.

We believe that good letters are only found at the bottom of each bottle of ink. While we all seek to write as we are elegantly engrossing the text on paper, we also hope that you enjoy the serenity that being elegantly engrossed in writing brings. Therefore, just relax and let your hand dance with the pen!
