This fun online workshop is perfect for anyone who would like to try brush calligraphy but isn’t sure where to begin. Friendly and informative, this workshop teaches you how to hold and control the brush pen, then how to form letters, and connecting them. You work through an alphabet, that is included in the 10-page downloadable workbook that comes with this class. You will be guided and gradually build up your skills, from basic strokes to the letters of the alphabet, and discover how to connect letters to form beautiful words as you are shown the techniques by Kirsten and Maisie. You’ll be shown how ligatures are formed and learn about the guidelines that are used in modern calligraphy. Also included is your 10-page lesson plan to download so that you can follow Kirsten along whilst she ‘troubleshoots’ the common mistakes beginners make when learning brush lettering.
 
 
For this workshop you will need a brush pen (or a paintbrush and some ink) and the worksheets that you receive with this purchase. You can print a few copies (there are 10-pages in all) and have it ready for when you watch the video. We use our Dual Brush pen in the tutorial, but any brush pen will do.
 
Once you have purchased this workbook, you will be emailed the access code to the private YouTube link. Here you will be able to watch the full tutorial. It is hosted on YouTube, however only you can see it. We would appreciate it if you don't share the link with friends that haven't bought the workshop.
 
You will have access to the tutorial where Kirsten and Maisie will guide you through the class. You can pause or stop whenever you need to and return to complete or repeat sections, watch as many times as you like. The video is 30 minutes long, but with all the exercises to complete, give yourself a couple of hours to do the whole thing. Have fun.
