Here's a nice write up by Sherman about a recent free webinar on handwriting sponsored by Montblanc that he attended...
Montblanc 'Inspire Writing' Webinar Series –
Flourishing Part 1
This webinar was available to those who subscribed to the Montblanc newsletter. I hadn’t joined in
probably a year now, but I attended this one on Jan 29, 2024. I like
flourishing my signature, but it wasn't good enough, so I believed I should be
able to learn something from the experts.😁😁
What a surprise - the calligraphy artist/instructor was Mike Ward, who moved back to Vancouver just prior to the pandemic! I encouraged him to join our club! 😜 He agreed and said he should get back into the community, but still hasn’t done much yet… Well, we’ll see.
During the 1 hour webinar, he illustrated some basic guidelines on flourishing, and it really opened my mind for sure. It was so worthwhile to join. And I so look forward to Part 2 now.
Then, I also took the opportunity to examine my humble MB collection, and found that I only needed to refill and prime a hard starter with MB Leo Tolstoy Sky Blue, Limited Edition ink. That's all! Hurray, wohahaha.....🤣🙏🖋

(I registered to watch a webinar replay--on architectural lettering--and yes, it was free, too ;)
Whether or not you use a Montblanc, may you always enjoy using your fountain pens!

I heard about the seminars but never did find them. Thanks for providing the link! So many videos that I'll have to catch up on.
Cheers!
Hi Kelvin! I actually forgot about them until Sherman reminded me, so I registered for the MB newsletter and watched part 1 of the archived architectural lettering webinar a few days ago. It was really well done---casual but very informative, and it had a nice pace to it. I plan to watch more webinars and then will try to join a live one :)
Cheers,
~Maja
