Situated in the picturesque surroundings of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, you'll be staying in the gorgeous Gartmore House as you learn some new calligraphy skills each day. Led by experienced tutor Duncan Tolmie, you'll be focusing on the versatile and impressive Italic script, using both a chisel-tipped pen and a brush pen to create a wide variety of different effects in your script. Each day you'll enjoy engrossing demonstrations as Duncan shares the benefit of his years of experience to help you achieve some impressive handwriting skills. Even if you've never picked up a pen before, you'll have all the support you need from your tutor, who'll share tips and tricks to help bring your writing to life on paper.
