- Pen angle and principle strokes of the hand.
- Construction of the upper and lowercase alphabets
- The proportions, shapes, counters and branching, and spacing of letterforms
- Exploration of variations of the letterforms.
BONUS: Patti will teach letterforms from exemplars of both Sheila Waters and Ann Camp as well as her own preferred variations.
