Recent reviews of Beginners Modern Calligraphy Class

• 5/5 from Joanne Veldman, attended Jul 2026: Lovely class in a relaxed atmosphere with a small group. Althea was on hand to correct our pen handling, demonstrate techniques and paint-mixing.
• 5/5 from Dawn McCusker, attended Jun 2026: Our instructor Anthea was fabulous! She is excellent at calligraphy and knows how to teach beginners. The room is decorated reflecting many different crafts and the location in Covent Garden can't be beat. We had a wonderful time learning calligraphy and would defintiely do it again!
• 5/5 from Selah Allen, attended Nov 2025: Really enjoyed the class. Teacher was very patient and the pace of learning was just right. Was good value for money for the class, calligraphy pen and booklet. Would definitely recommend.
• 5/5 from Katerina Nikita, attended Nov 2025: I had such a great time at the Modern Calligraphy workshop with Anthea! She’s a wonderful instructor who explained everything -from pens and nibs to inks and paper - so clearly. You can tell she’s truly passionate about calligraphy, and it really shines through in her teaching. The space was lovely and cozy, and the small group size made it easy to ask questions and get hands-on help. It was a fun, rewarding experience and much harder (and more satisfying!) than it looks. If you’re considering a workshop, I’d definitely recommend taking this one with Anthea!
• 5/5 from Klaudia Grochot-Fraser, attended Nov 2025: I really enjoyed the class. Anthea is a great teacher - kind, patient, easy going. I loved the fact the starter kit was included. I came to the workshop straight after work, quite tired, but left feeling relaxed and uplifted after learning a new skill. Thank you!
• 5/5 from Beth McCartney, attended Sep 2025: Really enjoyed this class, learnt a lot and have come away with lots of resources to keep practicing for upcoming wedding DIY! A great workshop to come alone or with friends.
• 5/5 from Emily Pilcher, attended Mar 2025: I had such a fantastic time at this calligraphy class! The teacher was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a lovely person who made the session both informative and engaging. She took the time to go around and help each of us individually, offering invaluable tips on mixing inks and perfecting our grip—things I would never have picked up from a book or video. If you’re into anything crafty, I highly recommend this class. I’ll definitely be back for another creative session!
• 5/5 from Robin Dodds, attended Mar 2025: The class was wonderful, the teacher Anthea was wonderful - skilled, patient and full of good energy :) We immediately dropped into flow state and by the end were getting great results! Also you get to take the materials away with you so you can immediately put what you learned into practice without having to buy loads of extra kit!
• 5/5 from Carla Antunes, attended Jan 2025: The teacher was very friendly and kind. We felt supported and gently encouraged throught the class. The general information and background on calligraphy was helpful, and she gave us the supplies at the end, so we can continue practicing at home. Overall, a great experience.
• 5/5 from Vicki Brook, attended Jan 2025: A fantastic class! Anthea was informative, patient and hands-on. I feel like I learnt so much and can’t wait to get home and get practising! In a great location too! Will be recommending to friends.
• 5/5 from Marina Baresic, attended Nov 2024: Amazing class! Had so much fun using various colours of ink and the teacher was excellent, friendly, giving each person individual feedback and tips, providing additional advice, and making this an unforgettable experience. Went away being able to write words, and some different style letters. Definitely recommend and would come again!
• 5/5 from Sarah Kwok, attended Nov 2024: Amazing class! So many materials to take home, very well run and great instruction to really start calligraphy.
• 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Teacher was very friendly Liked doing all the practical activities Only thing that could be improved is that on the ClassBento the class is advertised as starting at 10:30 but actually started at 10am from the email that the teacher sent a few days before the class
• 5/5 from Sheully Miah, attended Jul 2024: Excellent teacher. Nice class room setting and I learnt a lot. Notes were excellent and I enjoyed it very much. Really appreciated the free bag with the ink and nib included with practice papers. Will take on board everything I learnt and will be practicing using the guidelines given and the materials provided.
• 5/5 from Virginia Vogel, attended Jun 2024: Amazing class! The time flew by, I can't believe we were working for 2 hours! All I want to do is keep practicing Calligraphy now!! :)
• 5/5 from Dawn McCusker, attended Jun 2023: Our teacher, Charlotte, was wonderful! We had 13 in our group and she did a fantastic job with a large number of students. Instructions and materials were provided which we were able to take with us. She provided tea, water and lovely cupcakes, asking days before if we had any vegan or gluten needs. The two hours flew by and we had a great time. We're a study abroad group from the US. The students had such a lovely time! They learned a lot on brush calligraphy, how to use the pens correctly, and the correct way to make each letter! The location was a cute room in a building near Covent Garden, decorated for creative inspiration! I would highly recommend this class!
• 5/5 from Victoria Murphy, attended Sep 2022: Friendly, skilled teacher (Charlotte) taught me the basics of brush calligraphy and gave me the confidence to go and write pretty cards! The Tea and Crafting venue was very jolly, too. There were just two of us in the class and it was all really fun, with lots of bits to take home too.
