Modern Calligraphy (half day)

A gentle introduction to the art of pointed pen & ink calligraphy. Develop your own personal style of lettering with this fresh, free flowing approach.

Modern calligraphy is more flexible, creative and expressive than its traditional counterpart. Go with the flow forming basic strokes and shapes, guided step by step by professional calligrapher, Kayleigh. Learn to hold the pen correctly and how to control the nib and ink. Practise your skills, playing with letter-forms, layout and font. Perfect for anyone organising a wedding/special event or wishing to add personalised touches to gifts.

Open to both beginners and those with experience, right-handers and left-handers.
