Montblanc Online Calligraphy Classes

[Chouffleur]

I saw a reference to these which linked to this:  https://www.montblanc.com/en-us/discover/campaign/virtual-classes

 

Yet somehow "sign up sight-unseen for a class you know nothing about but which will result in an avalanche of spam in your Inbox" wasn't a compelling proposition.

 

I searched here and found no mention of these classes (perhaps a lack of Google-fu on my part).

 

Has anyone tried them? Reviewed them?

 

Thanks

Free calligraphy classes from Montblanc
My dad gave my daughter his Montblanc fountain pen that’s 50 years old. She went to a Montblanc store nearby, and they cleaned out the dried ink for free. They also mentioned the free online calligraphy classes Montblanc offers. Anyone can join, even if you only have a Bic pen. We took the one-hour French Cursive class together and loved it. You can also watch past sessions. Be sure to download and print the exercise sheets for the classes.

I watched a few when they first started. As I recall they were professionally done, easy to follow. I'm not a calligrapher though.

 

I did not receive much email. I got a few Montblanc marketing emails, generally about one a week. You can unsubscribe whenever you want.

 

If you like different types of calligraphy or letter making give it a try.

 

You can also find some of them on Montblanc's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@montblanc/videos. About the fourth row dow you'll start seeing them.
