This was terrific. I did not realize the technical rules she follows. Makes so much sense as to why it looks so good. Not “random” at all. Thanks Becca. I will be watching again.
Thank you so much Becca for hosting this online session and for posting the replay here for those of us who couldn't watch it live. Thanks to Suzanne for sharing the amazing tips. Hearing her story is very inspiring and to know that she has only been using pointed pen for 4-5 years is an added motivation factor :) Loved the tips on flourishing. Now it's time to sit down and work on my Calligraphy.
A timeless lesson that is as relevant today as it was in 2018. Thank you Becca and Suzanne for the chance to learn great flourishing for our calligraphy.
Thank you, Suzanne, for being so generous with your time and talent! The information I this video is amazing! Thank you for breaking things down piece by piece. My flourishing is already improving and I am enjoying the practice with less frustration! Becca, thank you for putting together this series of video tutorials! Outstanding!
Wow! My flourishing just got a million times better after watching this video (seriously), and still so much more practice to be done! Thanks so much for sharing Suzanne and Becca!
Wowsers. Hugely helpful - I was not expecting that at all but understanding how Suz builds her shapes is so much more constructive than I had anticipated. I might have a chance at making them now I have seen this video. Great video all round what a joy to watch and listen to, thank you ladies.
m going to come back to this time and time again, as at the beginning. I adore flourishing and this is so helpful. Wish I could come to some of the flourish workshops...but in England... bit of long way to travel!!
This was the best thing I've seen for calligraphy! I am so thankful for this. I would love to take an envelop addressing class. I would love take an online course if your brother would do it. If you would like an example of a teacher I enjoy in something different but I like her set up and her slow mo - VeryPink_Knits. I love that you go slow and you can see each time that you are breaking down into the basic strokes. Your information you have shared is more helpful than you can imagine. I need watch this all again just to take notes on the different rules and techniques to follow. I loved how you hide the acenders/decenders with ghosting and WHY you do that so things dont look off. Thank you to both Suzan Cunningham and The Happy Ever Crafter for making this outstanding interview happen. Both of you are just lovely people!
This was so helpful! I've always been amazed by Suzzane's calligraphy and it was a pleasure learning flourishes from her! I've realised that when strokes and flourishes are broken down like she did it gets much easier to grasp them and practice them! I just adore Suzzane!
Becca, thank you for having Suzanne on as a guest. I have been wanting to know more about her background and how she got into calligraphy. She broke down her technique in a way that makes it easier to analyze and replicate. But, it will still take a lot of practice.
The presentation, as observed, was outstanding. Granted, the crispness of the lettering was seemingly blurred, but visible. Mrs. Cunningham, a professional presented a glimpse of her prodigious knowledge and most importantly, was well embraced! The in's and out's regarding her style of flourishing and balance were well received. Continuing with my observations, the Happy Ever Crafter, clearly young, apparently was not aware of her many "yep" responses, and at times with a high pitch. To this end, I genuinely appreciate a relaxed atmosphere as much as the next learner. In closing, the observations, presented, are in no way a critique, I assure you: simply an observation. Respectfully, R.Mercado, M.Div., Ph.D.
What an amazing interview and demonstration of flourishing! I'm just starting to get into flourishing, but I really like how the flourishes demonstrated here are so delicate. Thank you for this! As I notice the recording date was a couple years back, I wonder if a follow-up has taken place.
I love Suzanne and her style and gorgeous Copperplate script! She is an amazing Penmen and a really nice person. Hope to see her on your channel again Becca.
I just watched the replay of this video, and it was wonderful. I loved the detailed explanations of flourishing. It helped me to better understand how to do it and what to look for. Thanks so much for doing this. I am one who would love to take an on-line class with Suzanne in Copperplate and/or flourishing, so I hope she puts it together.
Wow this was amazing Suzanne. I am a newbie with Calligraphy and have been learning Copperplate with Paul Antonio , which is awesome but I would love love to do a flourishing course online with you, I live in Australia. You explain everything so well and easy to understand. It now 2021 so look forward to your courses in 2022. Thankyou :-)
Just watched the replay and really enjoyed it. I'm fairly new to calligraphy and have just about got to grips with the basics of the Copperplate style and feel that I need to move on to the flourishing side. I really love Suzanne's work and found this video really inspiring. It's a pity that I'm unable to attend one of her classes as I live in the UK but I look forward to downloading the worksheets and practising . Thanks Suzanne. x
I just found your video and I enjoyed it very much. I tried to find the free worksheets you mentioned but couldn’t. Are the still available? If so where?
Concerning posture and feet on the floor, the SEAT HEIGHT on most chairs seems geared towards the length of men's legs, not women's legs (from knee to heel). So, it's more difficult for most women to rest their entire foot comfortably on the floor; which is probably why women are more comfortable when they put something on the floor that elevates their feet.💜💜
I learned quite a bit from the video. I just really wish she would’ve took the time to focus on the camera. It would’ve made a world of difference. I don’t know if anyone’s like me skipping right past a low quality. Instructional video is extremely easy to do.
I learned cursive in 3rd grade, took an art class in high school, have the speedball textbook, my penmanship is fair, but mu friends gush over it, but in reality it's just 50 years of getting sloppy and trying to improve. .
Awesome, Awesome video. Thank you Suzanne. Thank you Becca. You ladies are both SUPERSTARS.
This was terrific. I did not realize the technical rules she follows. Makes so much sense as to why it looks so good. Not “random” at all. Thanks Becca. I will be watching again.

Hi, Steve watching g from Royal Berkshire, England.
I think she's right. She doesn't get held-up on "the right way" or not. She's a great calligrapher
Hi Please post a video on flourishing each and every small and capital letters pleaseeeee pleaseeeeeee
Hi, I'm Jacqueline from California. I just discovered Flourishing.
Concerning posture and feet on the floor, the SEAT HEIGHT on most chairs seems geared towards the length of men's legs, not women's legs (from knee to heel).

Hi Becca, I want to learn. I need workbook. Can you guard me to buying some worksheets?
Becca, it seems I am unable to download the flourishing worksheet on your website. :(
I couldn't see it on the desktop but I found it on my phone.
