So far we have attempted the hands of Italic, Gothic, Uncial and Copperplate. I say attempted as it takes much practice to become anywhere near proficient. Some learn much more quickly than others, but it is certainly a great art form and it is worth the effort having many uses. Some of these are writing a special letter in copperplate, inserts in cards and place names for weddings.
