Modern Calligraphy is fun to learn and relaxing to practice. Join us at Barton Grange Garden Centre in Preston, Lancashire on our Modern Calligraphy Workshop with Spring theme this New Year and start your Calligraphy journey with this mindful, creative pastime and art form.
Guided by expert tutors; Lucy Mellor and Polly Mellor, you will begin by covering the fundamentals of how to hold the dip pen, learning the pressures and rhythms that give calligraphy its characteristic contrasting strokes before moving onto learning the upper and lower alphabet, how to link letters, first words and phrases. You will learn how to draw decorative illustrations and flourishes to complement your calligraphy lettering on stationery pieces. The second half of the workshop covers how to lay out greeting cards, letter up and design a piece of wall art along with luxury stationery items.
