I recently attended Maria's excellent Copperplate Calligraphy Retreat at Riverdale, just outside of Melbourne. Not only is Maria a master at her craft; she is also an excellent teacher and was able to cater for a wide range of student backgrounds and abilities. The retreat itself was wonderfully planned with amazing accomodation, delicious meals and endless supplies of tea, coffee and snacks to keep us going!
Alongside the expert Calligraphy tuition, Maria kept us entertained with many stories of her experiences in the field as well as historical facts which helped to explain various aspects of the letter forms and construction. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her workshops to anyone with the slightest interest in calligraphy or lettering (or even if you don't, you will by the end of the class!). Thanks again Maria :)
