Enjoy the online class - after booking, you'll get a link to join the interactive class.

For the perfect introduction to calligraphy, join us for a creative, fun and relaxing evening where we will take you through the basics of using a pointed nib and ink. We will start with a demo to show you how to use your pointed nib, then we will work through warm-up exercises to teach you the basics, practicing letterforms and joining up letters.

The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried, allowing you to lose yourself in the meditative process of dipping your nib into ink and guiding it across the page. Focus on the details of each stroke and allow your worries to melt away with each graceful curve.

You will discover how to work in shimmering metallic inks, adding a new dimension to your calligraphy. Guided by the instructor's expertise, you experiment with blending vibrant hues, creating a symphony of colours that dance across the paper like a kaleidoscope.

As the evening progresses, your confidence grows, and you'll envisage how you can incorporate these techniques into your creative endeavours. Calligraphy is perfect for crafting bespoke greeting cards, elegant invitations, or stunning artwork to adorn your home. Our aim is that this evening ignites a passion for calligraphy that will continue to inspire you for years to come

This workshop is a live stream via Zoom, which means that you can ask questions and receive direct help with your work from our experienced tutor. An online workshop is a wonderful way to learn calligraphy, as you are able to watch your tutor demonstrate up close on your screen so that every letter stroke and movement of the pen and hand is magnified and easy to follow. Your Zoom invite will come with your booking email confirmation, and we'll send it to you again 3 days before your workshop in your reminder email. After you've booked please check your Spam folder in case the email ends up in there!
