Brush up on Your Cursive Handwriting
If you were taught cursive in school, but your handwriting is illegible or just plain ugly, this may be the class you want to take. We will cover the basics, from how to hold the pen and how to form the letters, to how to practice most effectively to continue to improve when class is over.
Cost: Free
Duration: 2 hours
What to bring: Several writing tools. Pencil (mechanical or not), fountain pen, gel pen, etc. Highly recommended that you have a fine or medium point and a tool that you can write with without pressing down too hard—in other words, ballpoint pens are not recommended.
A packet with practice paper and guide sheets will be provided. To ensure that there will be a packet of materials for you, contact Marilyn Lonigro directly at marilyn@stlpenshow.com to register.
