I'm teaching a Hebrew calligraphy course at Drisha (in midtown Manhattan) this semester, on Wednesday evenings.

Each class will be in two parts - a bit of text, and a good deal of practical.

Texts: some of the basic texts about women being (or not being, rather) Torah scribes, some of the rules for scribes, and some of the fun pieces of Talmud dealing with writing.

Practical: I teach practical very one-on-one. Thus, people can use the course to achieve different things. One person may want to acquire a full set of variable calligraphy skills. Someone else may want to learn enough technique to do a wedding invitation but not a great deal beyond that. Someone else may want to learn how to use quills. The only thing I will not be teaching is the sofer's craft; that I teach privately (on Tuesday evenings).

You don't have to be female or Orthodox to participate (both popular Drisha misconceptions), and they have tuition discounts for those who need them. Register here.
