Join me to learn how to create beautiful lettering using brush pens in this modern, relaxed and informal style of calligraphy.
In this workshop you will learn the calligraphy rules - and how to break them - to create your own unique, fun style. It’s all about enjoying the process!
You will learn the essentials of modern calligraphy - how to position yourself, your paper and how to hold then pen, and then start with beginner brush strokes and mark making. You'll be practicing alphabets, upper and lowercase letter forms, and then eventually joining them into words and phrases.
Using the techniques you've learnt you will create your own hand lettered pieces that you can frame, or pop up on a shelf, and before long you’ll be creating cards, invitations , tags and labels for every gifting event in the calendar!
A Black brush pen, lettering guides, upper and lowercase alphabet templates, and calligraphy quote templates are all included + white card to complete your brush calligraphy final piece, and we'll be playing with colour brush pens too.
These Saturday afternoon workshops are 3 hours (1pm-4pm) and are held in the beautiful light-filled room at Highfield Park, St Albans. The room is fully accessible, on the ground floor, and has plenty of free parking outside.
