Foundational, Blackletter, Gothic Cursives, Uncial & Half Uncial, Carolingian, Italic, and Italic Variations are covered with through instruction for each. Foundational and Italic receive particular attention.
Sheila Waters is not only a master scribe, but a master teacher. She has made both her life's work. For over 20 years of summer workshops, she took scribes through their paces for up to six weeks of in-depth instruction in letterforms (historical and modern) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Students came from as far away as Australia and Japan for these intensive classes. Throughout the rest of the year she taught and continues to teach many weekend workshops sponsored by calligraphy guilds throughout the USA and Canada. She is also a frequent instructor at the international calligraphy conference held each summer.
