Elegantly Engrossed - Private Class
Elegantly Engrossed - Private Class
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. This suggested flow of class can be amended in private classes according to students’ needs.
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!

PRIVATE CLASS INFO
Date & Time 日期及時間
One of the advantages of taking a private class is that it will be much more flexible than a big group workshop. We can decide on the date, time and duration of the class and make sure that it’s convenient to us. The minimum duration of class is 2 hours. You can decide on how long you want it to be, depending on our availability. As we may need some time to find and/or reserve a suitable venue, it is recommended for intended participants to contact us as early as possible before the desirable date of class.
Private Class的好處是時間方面會比較靈活和有彈性。你可以就自己方便的時間再跟我們約時間。但因為書法需要的學習時間較長，private class最少必須是兩小時或以上。你可以選擇上課的時數。由於物色場地可能需時，因此建議大家盡早跟我們約時間。
Content of Class 學習內容
You are welcome to let us know in advance what you would like to focus on in writing engrosser’s script in our class. Information such as whether you have learnt writing engrosser’s script, your level in calligraphy, whether you want to focus on lowercase letters or capitals, etc. will help us assess how to conduct the class. For shorter classes (i.e. 2-hour classes), we may first focus on letters that you may find particularly difficult than others.
因為是個人授課或小班教學的關係，你可以預先告訴我們你習字的程度、有沒有學過engrosser’s script，希望重點練習細階還是大階等等。如果課堂時間比較短（如只有兩小時），你可以告訴我們你覺得特別困難的筆劃或字母，到時我們可以注重在這些筆劃或字母上。
Class Size 人數
Private classes can be conducted in a one-on-one manner or in a small group. The maximum number of students in a private class is 4.
Private class可以以個人授課或小班教學的形式進行，最高參加人數為4人。
Venue 地點
Other than private offices or homes, we are fine with other suitable venues such as cafes or classrooms. Some cafes are not recommended since their tables are often too small for calligraphy practice. For small group classes, I would recommend booking a proper classroom for a better learning environment. You are welcome to let us know where you live/work so that we can work out a location that is convenient to all of us.
除了參加者的私人辦公室和家之外，基本上我們不介意到其他適合的地點如Cafe或教室上課。如是多於一人的private class，我們建議租用教室以得到較佳的書寫及學習環境。部分Cafe我們一般都不建議，因為桌子太細了。你可以告訴我們你住/工作的地區，我們再討論場地的選擇。
Materials 課堂用具
The basic charge for a private class is exclusive of any materials, notes and cost for the venue. Guide sheets are provided. Please let me know in advance if you would prefer me to prepare any tools and materials for you such as a pen holder, nibs, ink, paper, etc. References may be made to the sets of notes (one on lowercase letters and the other set on capitals) that are compiled and published by The Lady's Writing. You may purchase each book at a separate price. Even if you do not wish to purchase the notes, you may still look at our copies during the private class.
Private class的基本費用不包括材料、筆記及場地費用（如有），間線底紙則會提供。如果你需要基本的書法用具（包括筆桿、筆尖、紙、墨水等）請預先告訴我們以便安排。Private class過程中可能會參考The Lady's Writing自行編制的筆記，參加者給有興趣可另行購買。不買也沒有問題，課堂期間一樣可以參考筆記。
