DERBY - Modern Calligraphy for Beginners Workshop

About this event

Whether you are a keen crafter, love stationery, are a bride to be, or would just like to learn a new skill, in this workshop at The Smallprint Company in Derby, you will be learning the art of modern calligraphy with a pointed dip pen and ink.

All the basics will be covered to get you ready to add those extra special details to your snail mail, wedding paper, home décor, greetings cards and more – the perfect crafty afternoon!

Safira will take you through the steps of how to get started and take you through the tricks of creating your own style.

During this 3-hour workshop, which has specifically been designed for beginners, you will be guided through the steps to help build your confidence and troubleshoot any issues that you may come across.

You will also have the opportunity to try out some different inks so you can later work on your own projects, cards or invitations.

Additional information:

The in-person modern calligraphy course includes:

• A personalised modern calligraphy kit, including a nib, pen holder, ink and handouts
• 3 hours of modern calligraphy instruction, including 1 to 1 help. The workshop will start with learning the basic strokes, before writing the alphabet. We will then practice how to develop words

Please note the ink can stain clothes, so do bear this in mind

Please arrive by 12.50pm to check in, take a seat and to get settled in as the class will start on time.

The cost of the class includes 3 hours of class time and a modern calligraphy kit to take home with you.

Class expectations: The class is suitable for someone who has never taken a calligraphy class before or for someone who would like to refresh their skills. You will be taught the basics and you will be taught to practice with confidence way beyond the class.

If you have tried calligraphy before, this class is a great refresher and a chance to try some new supplies from the beginner kit that will re-introduce you to this lovely form or art!
