Copperplate Tuition

Available online and in person

Copperplate isn’t just handwriting—it’s a precise, technical craft governed by strict angles, line weights, and muscle control.

Self-study from videos often leads to bad habits, bent nibs, and frustration with ink flow. Private 1-on-1 tuition accelerates your progress through direct live instruction and detailed feedback on your work between sessions, saving you months of trial and error.

A hand-written Copperplate capitals exemplar headed “Copperplate Capitals ~ Modern-Flourished”, the full flourished alphabet A to Z in black ink on white paper, with a rose-gold oblique holder and a glass pot of ink alongside.A workbook practice page headed “Mindful words”, with ruled Copperplate guidelines and the words “Breathe” and “Present” written in ink above lighter tracing guides, a rose-gold oblique holder resting across the page.
