Dip pens look intimidating.
They look messy.
They look like they require secret knowledge.
They don’t.
They just require someone to show you how they actually work.

Mastering Dip Pens
You have practiced with cartridge pens.
Maybe brush markers.
Maybe you love your lettering… until you see what dip pens can do.
The crisp lines. The control.
The richness of ink.
The professional finish.
And then the fear hits.
"What if I ruin the nib?"
"What if the ink blobs?"
"What if I make a mess of everything?"
This class removes all of that.
By the end of this workshop, you will:
• Feel confident using dip pens and multiple nib styles
• Understand which inks work and which ones sabotage you
• Learn how to write on dark paper
• Practice lettering in multiple sizes including ultra fine work
• Know how to fix mistakes without starting over
• Use metallic and white inks with dramatic results
This is the class that turns dip pens from intimidating into addictive.
Why this Mastering Dip Pens workshop is a game-changer.
Most lettering students delay learning dip pens because they assume the learning curve will be overwhelming.
The truth?
Most frustration comes from missing a few simple techniques that nobody explains clearly.
Cheryl breaks down those exact techniques step by step so the transition feels natural instead of stressful.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Inside Mastering Dip Pens, Cheryl walks you through the real techniques professional calligraphers use every day.
• How dip pens actually function and why they create superior lettering
• How to select and control different nibs
• Ink exploration including metallic and specialty inks such as stick ink & walnut ink
• Techniques for writing on dark papers
• Error correction techniques students say change everything
This is not about learning a new alphabet.
It is about unlocking new precision, flexibility, and creative control inside styles you already love.
Prerequisite: Students should be comfortable and reasonably proficient in at least one broad-edge (or pointed pen) lettering style.
Note: This class focuses on broad-edge lettering.
