The indistinct image to the left is a "thumbnail" of the first page of a sample lesson which will teach you how to do the "Uncial" alphabet - an alphabet used by the early Christians. This page shows all the letters and how they are formed. Simply click on the thumbnail image of the page and the full-page version will be brought up. Print the page on your printer.

This is the second page of the lesson on the "Uncial" alphabet. This is the page which has "trace and copy" exercises. You will need a chizel point calligraphy pen or marker with a width of about 1½ mm to do this page. It is important that you do these letters slowly and carefully. Speed is not a goal; mastery of the letters is. Again, click on the thumbnail to bring up the full-page version. Then print the page on your printer. |
 |
This page is a guide page for
the Uncial alphabet. It is recommended that you print several copies of
this guide page. Practice directly on the guide sheet or place the guide
sheet underneath a plain white sheet of paper so that you can see the lines
through the top sheet and follow them so your writing stays straight and
uniform in size.
I hope that you have success! Write me and tell me about it! |

Yes, this short lesson is greatly abbreviated. There's much more than this to learn.
