A little about our Presenter

Heather Victoria Held is a Canadian freelance-lettering artist who operates The Victorian Pen studio in St. George, Ontario. She has studied extensively with Master Penman Michael Sull and Master Penman Brian Walker. In 2009 she was the recipient of the Spencerian Heritage Award given through Michael Sull at the Spencerian Saga. She was a long-time member of Master Penman Brian Walker’s Spencerian Review Study Group, CLAS, The Copperplate Special Interest Group, and a faculty member of several International Calligraphy Conferences.

To learn how to flourish, is to blossom and to grow as a pointed pen artist. The Art of The Flourish lecture discusses the pointed pen artistry of offhand flourishing. The process of flourishing is mesmerizing and addictive. It is a peaceful, meditative, and essential pointed pen skill. True offhand flourishing is done without any pre-planning or pencil sketching on the paper.
