This is an amazing organization and web site. I stumbled onto it looking for information about calligraphy pens and nibs. I just started doing some calligraphy a year ago and have become more and more interested and want to learn more. I do freehand engraving on glass and am amazed by John DeCollibus’ work. I’m a 65 year old but believe it is never too late to learn new skills. I would love to join when membership becomes available.
Thanks
Tony
Stumbled upon this website looking for dip pens and nibs. Love the resources available and looking forward to joining after the 31 March open registration date. I'm also considering attending your international convention in August. Too bad I missed the 2011 convention, since I love staying at the Biltmore in Phoenix.

I found this website looking for a source for left handed writing
It is so wonderful to see that you include the history of how your penmanship group began and how it is available electronically to everyone! I love the historical photos and bios of the founding members. My Aunt and Uncle were founding members of IAMPETH - Eileen Broad Richardson and Fred Richardson. I have fond memories of my Auntie sending me the newsletter and all the beautiful artwork she featured in each edition. She was so proud of her work and how this group has grown. She worked very hard to ensure that her newsletters were sent out to all the members and this craft would continue on for generations.

The president of IAMPETH decides where the convention will be held---since he/she must plan it, usually is someplace convenient for them. There is no one on our board that is from outside of US, so do not think one would be held 'away'. We do have members that attend from Canada, Costa Rica, South America and Italy, for example.
Dear,
I am an English learner from China. I have to say I am ingorant about English calligraphy. However, I do have the strong desire to learn and found this size finally. Could you tell me how and where I should start? And could you recommand some materials available here? I am looking forward to your replies! Millions of thanks!
Beautiful site!
Do you have a list of instructors for this year's convention?

Details for the convention are still be completed. Registration materials will be sent to members in early Spring...March probably.
This website is a very useful tool for people of all professions. Thank you very much IAMPETH.
Just wanted to say thanks
I received a calligraphy pen and ink for Christmas. While searching the web for books that would help me learn the beautiful copperplate I found this wonderful site and cannot wait to begin. I am joining today and hope to be a master pensman someday. I am planning on going to the convention in August as a novice.
I do have a question, is it necessary to have a natural artistic talent to be good at copperplate or can the swirls and art be learned??

Anyone can learn! It just takes patience and practice. Have fun!
