Are you interested in learning modern calligraphy using a pointed pen?

Clare Morris, from dippygraphics, will be taking over the studio for some relaxing two-hour

evening workshops, where you’ll learn the basics of this wonderfully creative skill (and enjoy

some delicious cake!).

You’ll start by finding out about pens, nibs and paper, and you’ll then learn some key

strokes to put together to make letters. We’ll end the evening by joining the letters to

create some words and phrases and you’ll take away a name tag or a card, and hopefully

the desire to continue learning!

Don’t worry if you have terrible handwriting – calligraphy is more like drawing than writing,

so with practice, you will soon be creating some beautiful pieces.

This workshop is aimed at beginners, but if you have some experience already, it’s never a

bad idea to go over the basics again and pick up some new tips. If you’ve done some brush

pen calligraphy, but never picked up a pointed pen, then you’ll find the same rules apply,

but the pointed pen creates a very different look.

The price includes all materials (pen holder, nib, paper and card), but please bring along a

pencil, eraser and sharpener if you can (although there will be some available).

Workshops will take place between 6.30 and 8.30 on a Friday evening on these dates:

March 8th

April 12th

May 10th

June 14th

July 19th

August 9th
