Great teacher. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and resourceful. An evening packed full of ideas and inspiration. Honestly didn’t see the time go by. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Teacher's response

Thankyou Judith for your fantastic review and we are so delighted that you enjoyed the workshop with Rosie.

Best Wishes

Thoroughly enjoyed the class. The materials and location were excellent as was our teacher, Rosie. She gave us a wide range of exercises to do and a stimulating introduction to Calligraphy

Teacher's response

We are so pleased that you enjoyed the workshop with us and thankyou so much for taking the time to send us your review.

Best wishes
The team at TMCC.

Thorin Costain Feb 2024


Really enjoyed this class. The exercises were good and by the end of the course I found the lettering was becoming much easier. The two hours went very quickly. It could do with being half an hour longer so the introductions don’t eat into the training time.

We were given lots of tips about holding the pen and building muscle memory and at the end some suggestions about how to decorate letters. It was good.

Pat Jan 2024


Fabulous course. Maisie is a great tutor. She teaches with passion and is hugely inspirational.

Adele Dec 2023


Everything was very well explained and as the class was 2 1/2 hours we had plenty of time for practice. The teacher Amy was very helpful and always asking if we needed any help. Class was very interesting and I now have plenty of ideas to practice my brush calligraphy

Julia Leung Oct 2023


I would highly recommend the class. Nadia is a great teacher, she explains the class in great detail and with patience.

Excellent class. The teacher was warm and approachable. She took us through some basics and had is looping swirling and playing with different inks in no time. Would heartily recommend.

Michelle Rice Apr 2023


I loved the workshop, the teacher was very friendly and I am thinking of doing another workshop xx

Janet Khan Mar 2023


A thoroughly absorbing 2 1/2 hours which was over far too quickly. The venue was good with a lovely cafe attached. All the supplies were provided & were good quality. Our teacher was very approachable & obviously skilled in her craft.

Aida Holder Feb 2023


A really lovely class with a fabulous teacher. Great to do on your own or with a group of friends!

Lana Harper Feb 2023


Holly was a really lovely teacher and we covered a lot of ground - she was really talented and did impressive demonstrations but was also really encouraging and positive. She made lots of time for all of us - really enjoyed it.

Maisie ran my course and she was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to make sure we were all okay and not falling behind. She had 1 on 1 advice depending on your problem and she was so knowledgeable but also able to communicate it all in a way that was friendly and bubbly and made me feel like I was having a fun evening doing something crafty with a friend. Additionally she went over what the tools did, how to take of them, what different inks did, how to achieve different effects. I went from knowing nothing to being able to actually do calligraphy!

Maisie was a fab teacher, so friendly, enthusiastic and talented! The two hours absolutely flew by as we were so engrossed in practicing our new found calligraphy skills - a really mindful experience which was super enjoyable too. The course kit and joining instructions arrived in plenty of time and were of high quality. Would recommend!

Maisie was a great teacher, gave individual feedback, was open to questions and welcomed responses. She supported us to develop initial skills for progressing in calligraphy and made the two hours fly, I really enjoyed it

A really good kit came in the post and the workshop was very good. I have done some calligraphy before but this was more modern, with lots of practical uses.

The teacher was excellent and did a great job. All materials were well provided. The venue was just great.
The only problem was that I had asked for a nib class instead of a brush class. My confirmation email said it was for a nib class.

Susan Smith Sep 2022


It was a very informative and well run session. The teacher was patient and very helpful. The facilities and refreshments excellent. Materials and worksheets provided helped to make this an enjoyable experience.

Alison Newnham Mar 2022


A really enjoyable morning with a teacher, Amy, who was clear, friendly and completely inclusive so I’m sure everyone participating felt valued and helped.
The materials were just what we needed and the venue was perfect. Tea and biscuits very much appreciated too! Thank you Amy - I am now going to find my box of calligraphy materials to have another go!

Diane Hogg Mar 2022


Ceri was absolutely brilliant and placed the class well. All materiale were provide and good, clear explanation of them. It's amazing how much we covered and we completed our template posters to take home.
Venue was ideal and overall considering what I learned I thought it was value for money.
I bought some materiale to continue at home and I've already booked another class!

I did this class with my colleagues to celebrate lunar new year - we all had a great time and the teacher Alice was so lovely! The craft kit was really good and had lots of extra pieces of paper and materials to be able to use again. Thanks for a great class!

Sarah Giblett Feb 2022


Excellent workshop! I learnt all I needed to know to get started. We covered good techniques, styles of calligraphy, the dos and don'ts, how to prepare and what equipment to use. What I really loved was we used metallic pigment as well as ink which looked beautiful. There was plenty of opportunities to ask questions. There was a lot covered in a short time but I feel confident I have enough knowledge to continue practicing at home. The pack included the ink, pigment, pen & nibs and worksheets. Highly recommend this workshop, thank you!

This was a fun and satisfyingly challenging class.

I am definitely buying more ink so that I can keep practicing.

I had a great time doing this class! It was informative, fun, and relaxing. It takes a surprising amount of concentration and really puts into perspective how talented you have to be to master Chinese brush lettering. The teacher was brilliant and explained the history behind the letters, also stopping for questions as often as we needed.

Would deffo recommend it to anyone! The kit was also top-notch, the brush is especially lovely.

The class was great and it was fantastic to take the time to learn something completely new to me. Alice was a brilliant teacher who explained the techniques clearly and was always very encouraging!

I took part in the Chinese calligraphy class with my colleagues and had a great time. I really surprised with myself with how easily I learnt the strokes and found it really relaxing.

Chinese New Year Brush Lettering review by Andrew

Luis Feb 2022


Who would've known that learning how to use chopsticks properly would've help you with how you handle your paint brush in a Chinese Calligraphy Class? :)

Great instructions by our Teacher and overall formative background on Chinese Culture with this workshop. It's a must-do to develop patience, learn some basics of how this culture developed communication through pictographic characters and have some fun as a team while trying to draw them with the right strokes! :)

Alice was a very kind and patient teacher and helped us with everything from how to hold the brush pen to finishing off a gorgeous finished piece. I would highly recommend this class!

This was a brilliant class and a lovely way to celebrate lunar new year with colleagues virtually. Our teacher Alice was so talented and was really supportive throughout the class. Alice taught us about the culture of Chinese lettering as we practised creating different characters. I'd never tried this kind of lettering before and loved being able to learn how to do it! The craft kit was really lovely too - it included plenty of ink and practice paper and the bamboo brush pen can be used again :). Thanks Alice!

Our team organised this to celebrate Chinese New Year - it was a great way to spend some time with colleagues while learning a new skill together. Alice, the teacher, was great and gave us a wonderful insight into the art of Chinese Brush Lettering!

An amazing two hours that really flew by. The worksheets and materials are of fabulous quality. The tutor was fantastic, helping us to create beautiful work from the beginning.
I have picked up a new skill but I wasn't expecting it to be so relaxing. The pen techniques and brushstrokes are so therapeutic. It is wonderfully and surprisingly absorbing. My new go to stress buster!
