Join Our Beginners Modern Calligraphy Workshop

Your tutor, Jane, is, once again, looking forward to welcoming you on this beginners modern calligraphy workshop and guiding you step by step as you explore modern calligraphy techniques! Feedback from a previous crafter: “It was an excellent session. A whole day is better than a half day” Anne S.

All equipment is provided, and you’ll learn how to hold and use the pen and nibs. You’ll work with both ink and metallic paints, practise with handout example sheets, and create a personalised wreath sample to take home.

Jane explains:
“Modern Calligraphy is wonderful, user-friendly, and perfect for both left- and right-handed people. I only work with products I know are great for learning, and I’ll bring items for you to purchase if you wish to continue at home.”
