Modern calligraphy is a fresh, new style of decorative handwriting that is easy to create and showcases your own unique calligraphic flourish. Use a brush pen to add joy and a personal touch to greetings, gifts and messages. Many people find calligraphy a relaxing art, and with materials for a starter project included there’ll be nothing to think about but enjoying this creative craft.

Together we’ll cover a short and easygoing introduction to the history of letterforms and seven significant lettering styles. From these fundamentals we’ll build on your own personal handwriting style and embellish it to personalise a gift tag, greetings card or other simple seasonal project. Handouts, materials and stationery supplied during the workshop. No computers or technology required.
