WOW! What a brilliant class with a marvelous teacher. I love (Calligraphy) it is so relaxing to watch and great skill to master the techniques that this teacher was showing us in the class. I am 'hooked' for life and I see words differently now.
Thank you Kristara for an excellent class!

I haven't watched the entire class yet. I am still practicing the strokes. So far everything has been very clear and concise. This is something I have wanted to learn for a long time.
