Join me for a 2.5 hrs pointed pen calligraphy workshop where you will learn the essentials of modern calligraphy using dip pen and ink to create your own unique handwritten greeting cards and gift tags.
You'll start by learning the essentials to get you started with modern calligraphy :
- how to prepare the nib and hold the pointed pen and paper for comfort,
- the basic strokes used to form letters,
- practising writing the alphabet,
- joining letters to form words,
- practise writing festive phrases before moving onto your final project writing your very own greeting card
- how to make your own ink.
All materials are provided and include the following:
- workbook with practice sheets, templates and guidelines
- pointed pen + nib + ink jar with black ink

No experience in calligraphy needed. The class is suitable for beginners as you will be guided through to the essentials of modern calligraphy with demonstrations. I will also provide you with one-to-one tuition.
The workshop is suitable for complete beginners and it doesn't require neat handwriting or drawing skills. As we will be working with ink, we recommend not wearing your best clothes.
I'm looking forward to seeing you there!
