Workshop details
Calligraphy – the art of beautiful writing - is a very rewarding practice that can help us get into a mindful state and remain completely focused whilst creating something beautiful. In a world where communication is largely driven by technology, the art of writing can often seem irrelevant, but the beauty of a handwritten card or note is timeless.
Come and explore the fascinating world of pointed pen calligraphy with Sai, an experienced Calligrapher and teaching artist, who will guide you through the basics of Modern Calligraphy using a dip pen and ink. This style of lettering has a universal appeal, as it is a more flexible, accessible and playful version of traditional calligraphy.
By the end of the five-part course, you will develop your own unique script that reflects your style and personality. You will be ready to apply calligraphy on anything, be it a simple envelope or stunning cards. We will work towards creating a beautiful hand-lettered quote of your choice, which can be framed.
