Walk beside me into the world of lettering.
Let’s play and draw the shapes the proper grown ups call letters!

In this workshop you’ll be introduced to some modern day handwriting and calligraphy styles, as well as visiting a couple of traditional styles with a modern twist.
We’ll explore and learn how your sitting position and holding the pen can make a difference, which pens work with which styles and how to ground ourselves so that we are in control of our writing, not the other way around!

We’ll look at ways to embellish a style, make subtle alterations and how we can manipulate the letter shapes for sketchbooks, letters and envelopes so you build up a personal calligraphic alphabet that you’re confident scribing.

This may influence your own handwriting or you may use it as a calligraphic elements to accompany and work alongside your handwriting.

We will cover a lot, so you’ll be tired at the end of the day!
You won’t leave being calligraphers or lettering experts, you’ll leave with your rich style to work on and develop.

The workshop is designed for people who wish to explore, play and improve their hand lettering style. It is not a calligraphy class with hours of drills, it’s very much a taster class of what you can achieve with play.
