What you'll do
Tutor: Master calligrapher Kirsten Burke - one of the UK's leading contemporary calligraphers.Spend a relaxed, creative day in our new studios learning with master calligrapher Kirsten Burke, exploring the expressive possibilities of the automatic pen.Known for her gestural, mark-making style, Kirsten will guide you through the unique behaviour of this fascinating tool, showing how pressure, speed, and movement create bold strokes, delicate hairlines, and the spontaneous splashes of ink that give the work its character. Rather than aiming for perfection, the focus is on rhythm, confidence, and allowing the pen to respond to your hand.You’ll experiment with layered colour, energetic lettering, and a small capitals alphabet to bring structure alongside your expressive marks, gradually developing your own composition over the course of the day.By the end of the retreat, you’ll leave with a finished artwork, practical skills to continue at home, and the experience of a day spent immersed in creativity, ink, and conversation in the calm setting of the studio.Why not make a weekend of it? Our workshop location is surrounded by beautiful sandy beaches and a peaceful marina, perfect for strolls and quiet reflection. Extend your stay to enjoy a seaside break, marina walks, and the picturesque city of Chichester.
