I did a quick search for some in person classes, but unfortunately the only one near me is to teach Chinese calligraphy! Which would probably be more useful if I read Chinese, lol. I’ll stay on the look out for some, that does sound interesting.
I guess whatever part of my brain that can convert ‘writing’ to ‘art’ doesn’t work, because I spent a considerable amount of time as a child desperately trying to learn decorative handwriting! Going slowly makes it wobbly AF, and going quickly makes it sloppy, and I never could find the middle.
I’ve been holding a pencil and legibly writing for over 30 years and I still have no fucking idea how people write this nicely.
Thanks for the detailed response and recommendations for getting started! The technical aspects of calligraphy are what appeal to me about it as well, which is sort of a running theme with the artistic hobbies I have (ex: weaving). I’ve been trying to get back into physical journaling, so this is probably a good thing to add on top of it.
