The Lowercase Affair - Engrosser's Script Minuscules

With Ashok Giri

Starting date: 21 January 2026

Fees: HK$ 780 or US$ 100

Workshop Description

Welcome to The Lowercase Affair — a two-part online workshop dedicated entirely to the graceful world of Engrosser’s Script minuscules. Often described as the “heart and rhythm” of Engrosser’s, these delicate forms are where true mastery begins.

​

In this 2-lesson series (each 2 hours long), we’ll slow things down to explore the beauty of the lowercase letterforms — the subtle shades, the precise turns, and that unmistakable flow that defines fine penmanship.

​

Through guided demonstrations and plenty of practice strokes, you’ll learn how to:

​

  • Understand the anatomy and structure of Engrosser’s Script minuscules.

  • Develop consistent slant, spacing, and rhythm for polished, uniform writing.

  • Master the fundamental stroke groups that form the backbone of every letter.

  • Build smooth transitions between letters for fluid, connected words.

  • Identify and fix common errors to enhance legibility and elegance.

​

You’ll also get insights into:

​

  • How to train your eye for proportions.

  • How to build muscle memory through mindful repetition.

  • How to balance grace and precision without losing your natural hand movement.

​

This workshop is perfect for:

​

  • Beginners ready to start their Engrosser’s journey.

  • Intermediate calligraphers looking to refine control and consistency.

  • Advance level calligraphers who love the meditative rhythm of the pointed pen.

​

By the end of The Lowercase Affair, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of Engrosser’s structure — and a confident, flowing hand that feels more effortless with every stroke.
