modern calligraphy project for workshops in Cumbria

There will be hearts to take home if you’re so inclined… so this would be a lovely treat for couples! However, if you’re all Valentined-out by then, you’ll be very welcome to escape into your modern calligraphy instead!

The calligraphy workshop is suitable for absolute beginners, even if you’ve never held a calligraphy pen before. It’s always lovely and relaxed, friendly and fun. Bring a friend or come alone and make new ones!

We’ll start with simple lines and loops, moving on to swirls and easy letters, covering alphabets along the way. The worksheets you’ll write on in the class are very beginner-friendly, with some favourite words to trace and copy.

By the end of each session you’ll be ready to write and decorate a wooden heart or bird with your calligraphy pen and ink. These make a lovely little keepsake to take home as a reminder of your day learning modern calligraphy at Rheged!
