Introduction to Copperplate Calligraphy with DFCalligraphy

Who is DanielleFindlayCalligraphy?Danielle Findlay picked up her first calligraphy pen at the age of ten thanks to her father who always encouraged her creative interests. She dabbled in italic, gothic and uncial scripts all through school featuring Italic in her final artwork for the HSC. However it wasn’t until her twenties where she received formal lessons and was finally introduced to the Copperplate script and the pointed pen, which is now her specialty.

Brush Lettering with BlackChalkCo
|
Who is BlackChalkCo?Emma Witte started Black Chalk Co in December 2015 as a creative side business while she completed her Bachelor of Business Management and worked full-time as an Executive Assistant to a CEO. Emma’s initial dream was to bring her unique sense of humour into the greeting card world, because funny cards just weren’t that funny anymore (if they ever were? They weren’t. Still aren’t.)
Through the first design process she discovered hand lettering and found her true passion – the lost art of penmanship. Firmly established as an influencer in the lettering space, Emma has put both the Artline Stix Brush Markers and Ecoline Brush Pens on the map as ‘must haves’ in an aspiring letterer’s supply kit, with videos going viral on Facebook and Instagram, racking up over 16 million views in the first week.
