Handwriting Correspondence Course

Ready for a handwriting makeover? 

PenDance will soon offer Ballpoint Elegance™handwriting correspondence courses designed to help you improve the legibility of your handwriting, as well as teach you how to "dress up" your handwriting to look more "calligraphic." 

This course is highly recommended for brides who wish to address their own invitations, either to save money or simply because they feel it is important to hand address their invitations. 

You don't have to use "fancy" tools like chisel-edge or pointed pens to create calligraphy! Ballpoint Elegance requires only "monoline" tools, like gel pens or pencils, so all you have to concentrate on is learning the letterforms rather than having to learn how to use a calligraphy tool as well. When you are comfortable with the letterforms then you can move on to more advanced calligraphy tools.

The Italic course is recommended for those who want to improve their "everyday" handwriting. Italic can be written at fast speeds while still maintaining legibility. It is especially useful for students who have to handwrite essays during tests or medical professionals who need to improve handwriting legibility to meet JCAHO requirements.

Our Ballpoint Elegance course will teach you to:

• Improve legibility by practicing the rules of good penmanship.

• "Dress up” your writing to look more calligraphic.

• Change the look of your handwriting by following our "style recipes."

• Special Section for Brides: Learn the tools and techniques that professional calligraphers use to address envelopes and fill in place cards and bridal books. (We'll also help you with any etiquette questions you may have about addressing envelopes and place cards.)

For brides, penmanship certainly takes on new importance since there are so many writing tasks involved before and after a wedding: 

• Save-the-Date cards

• Wedding Invitations

• Escort cards and place cards

• A love letter to your future spouse to present on your wedding day

• Thank-you notes

• Bridal book, wedding scrapbook and journals

Improving penmanship skills will make the bride's task of writing all those thank-you notes a bit more pleasant!
