A 5-week course running from Wednesday 7th June to Wednesday 5th July.

Tutor: Maisie Minett

For those that know the basics of pointed pen calligraphy and want to take their skills further.

We will teach in the studio, with a small group in attendance, demonstrating and guiding the online students at the same time by using overhead cameras.

We're hugely excited to be able to offer this popular course nationwide, and online. Our 'Beyond Beginner' Course is for those of you that know the basics ( ie you've attended one workshop) and wish to develop your lettering to make stunning creative pieces of art.

You'll learn to fine-tune your compositions and balance your work and be guided through the design process. By the end of this course, you will be able to create a beautifully composed piece.

So if you're looking to elevate your calligraphy to the next level, this is definitely the course for you!

Once you've ordered, you'll receive a link to the Zoom meeting. On the day of the class, use that link to join the class. Class sizes are kept small, so you can easily ask questions and get lots of one on one time with your tutors. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.
