Intro to Hebrew Calligraphy

Now that we've learned how to make a Hanukkah card, let’s boost your confidence when it comes to writing Hebrew letters. In this class, Ezra Feller will teach you a foundational script, which will give you a better understanding of how the Hebrew letters are constructed, so that you will be able to give them your own personal touch. Anything goes, as long as the basic structure remains recognizable and legible. I will also show you one variation of each letter.
