Brush Spencerian Calligraphy Workshop

If you've heard about Spencerian script calligraphy but were daunted by using a flexible nib pen, this two-day course is the ideal introduction to this classic American script. Whether you're a novice or experienced practitioner, master scribe Paul Antonio will share with you his newly-developed techniques for writing this gorgeous script using a modern brush pen.

Beginning with soft pencils, you'll practise a host of hand-scribing techniques for the letterforms, their rhythms and the stroke order to get you familiar with a simplified Spencerian script. Once you've built up your confidence with the pencil work, it'll be time to use your brush pen to bring this beautiful, exacting hand to life on paper.

Don't worry if this is your first time picking up a brush pen, as Paul will share the benefits of his decades of experience and research to help you build your calligraphy skills, so you can develop a deeper connection to this relaxing, creative hobby.

Whether you're a keen beginner looking for your first project or searching for a thoughtful gift for a calligraphy-obsessed friend, this two-day live-streaming course is a fantastic opportunity to share the skills of a true expert in the field.
