Discover the joy of lettering at this modern calligraphy workshop, perfect for absolute beginners.

You’ll learn how to use a traditional dippy ink pot and old-fashioned calligraphy nibs to create beautiful, playful lettering in a relaxed and inspiring setting.

Each ticket includes your own pen, nib, and ink to take home after the class!

Led by our friendly and experienced tutor Claire, this calligraphy workshop will show you how to get the very best from your tools. You’ll start with swoops and swirls to build confidence, then follow easy templates to progress to simple letters and playful techniques to create your own piece of elegant modern calligraphy art.

Whether you’re an absolute beginner or have tried calligraphy before, you’ll find this workshop welcoming, creative, and lots of fun.

Please wear clothes suitable for crafting, as the black ink we use can stain. Don’t forget your reading glasses if you need them!
