About me

I've over 15 years of experience as a calligrapher and lettering artist.

I teach the italic style, which was created during the Italian Renaissance. It's the most versatile alphabet style (you can often see it in greeting cards!).

The first course lasts 60 minutes and gives you the basic instruction you need to practice on your own. My clients include: St. Patrick's basilica, Diva Productions, McGill University, Avon Canada, IBM, Michel Lemieux, La Senza, St-James Hotel, Mmmuffins, Lana Lee Fashions, UQAM Coiffure, Alberto Uomo boutique, Florsheim and many others.

The first course is free, but basic materials (paper, guidelined sheets, felt-tip Staedler 2.5 mm pen) cost $15.

Subsequent courses can be arranged privately or in groups. For rates, please email me at peter@powerknowledge.net

I just want to share this amazing art with people who are interested. It's really fun and it also allows you to develop self-mastery, which is useful for succeeding in any area of life.

We use handwriting every day, so it makes sense to develop penmanship in order to fully master ourselves.

After this workshop, you will never see your handwriting in the same way. You will definitely enjoy writing much more, and will want to leave a distinctive mark every time you pick up a pen!
