Calligraphy Workshops

Throughout my Calligraphy journey, I had many opportunities to learn and study from numerous Master Penmen and other well-known calligraphers from around the world such as Michael Sull, Connie Chen, Paul Antonio. I am currently being trained by Martha Lauren (a recipient of IAMPETH Certification of Excellence) in traditional Spencerian script. I have built a strong foundation of calligraphy knowledges through all theses trainings. I am currently offering virtual calligraphy workshops in Toronto and worldwide that is suitable for individual, groups and corporate team building functions.

American Cursive Handwriting Workshop

Cursive – a general term referring to handwriting that is flowing and joined. It is intended to be written with common writing tools such as pencils, pens or fountain pens.

In the late 19th century, Austin Norman Palmer, an American penman developed a style of penmanship that was easier to read and write than the Spencerian script. This form of writing gained popularity and was widely adopted by the general public throughout the US in the 20th century.

Please come join Margaret (a certified American Cursive Handwriting Instructor) to learn this beautiful script. This workshop is suitable for age 9+ (Grade 3+). No experience or background in writing cursive is required.
