Join this beginner brush calligraphy workshop in London and discover the essential techniques for creating beautiful letterforms with brush pens. This mindful practice is a great way to slow the mind and connect with yourself.
You don't need any calligraphy experience to join in -- this is a great starting point, and you'll be guided every step of the way in a relaxed, supportive environment.
What to expect:
  • You'll be introduced to the basic strokes that form every letter and learn how to control your brush pen to draw neat and consistent strokes, creating that beautiful contrast between thick and thin lines.
  • You will then learn to join the strokes you have practiced and form letters and words.
  • Finally, you will use the techniques you have learned to create your own calligraphy bookmark with a short word on reclaimed paper.
By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with your handmade bookmark and a new skill to use in your future creative projects.
Good to know:
  • For our Thursday Taster Classes, we offer 'Community Taster Tickets' at £5 -- these tickets are aimed at people who face financial barriers to taking part, particularly if you're under 25 or unwaged.

The Remakery started 10 years ago as a community space for repairing and upcycling furniture.
Since then we have developed several communal workshops for a range of eco-craft activities, and an exciting programme to link climate action with the empowerment of making with your hands.
Our practitioners have trained at London's top Arts schools, or developed their skills over years of self-discovery.
Our programme is curated by Alice Holloway; A researcher in regenerative fashion with The RCA and London Met university, and Innovate Creative Catalyst grant winning regenerative fashion designer.
The skills we share at the Remakery are proven to improve mental health, as well as change how class attendees see the world. We want everyone to feel empowered to make a difference, and we have seen how learning to make something is often in the first step towards changing something bigger.
