The International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting (IAMPETH) (pronounced "I am Peth") is an international association for practicing and preserving the arts of calligraphy, engrossing and penmanship. It is currently the largest penmanship organization in the world and was founded in 1949.
IAMPETH is dedicated to helping people improve their lettering and artistic skills, and maintains an archive of works of past masters in addition to online instruction guides covering most popular methods of handwriting including Copperplate, Spencerian Script, Illuminated manuscript production (engrossing) and others.
The Master Penman Program was cancelled due to controversy in 2015. Two of their Master Penman renounced their titles after the last inducted Master Penman. Their Senior Master Penman Micheal Sull is starting his own Master Penman program apart of IAMPETH with Ink.Academy.
