Calligraphy Lettering Workshops

Writing instruments you thought had disappeared into the mists of time are reappearing, being embraced by an increasingly wider audience.

Modern calligraphy enjoys playing with the shapes of the letters to make a pattern with words.

Knowing these basic principles allows you to practice getting it right until it is an automatic response to push when you write downwards.

The letters of the alphabet are really just a selection of shapes. You design the alphabet, so think of calligraphy as drawing.

Modern calligraphy is easy to learn and all you need is a pen holder, nib, paper and ink. Let's learn how to use them.

We suggest solutions to the most common calligraphy problems, from poor ink flow to ink dropping everywhere.

For modern calligraphy you need a pointed nib, sometimes called a drawing nib. Avoid broad edged nibs with a wide flat end.
