Calligraphy Family Tree
Create a beautifully simple family tree to keep or give as a personal gift.
Knowing where to begin can feel a little overwhelming. Who should you include, where should everyone go and how can you show each relationship clearly? In this four-session project, we’ll simplify the process by focusing on just a couple of generations and working through the design step by step.
You’ll arrange the names into a clear calligraphic layout before adding leafy decoration to give your finished artwork the look and feel of a tree.
Work through the original Calligraphy Club sessions in your own time, with four recorded workshops and accompanying worksheets to help you plan and create your finished piece.
4 recorded sessions · Worksheets included · Self-paced · One-off purchase · No subscription
What You’ll Learn
Across the four sessions, we’ll take your family details from an initial plan through to a finished calligraphic family tree decorated with leaves.
Session 1 — Planning Your Family Tree
Decide who to include, how everyone is related and how much information you would like your family tree to show.
Session 2 — Creating the Layout
Choose the shape of your tree, arrange the family details and select a calligraphy style for the names.
Session 3 — Adding Decorative Details
Introduce leaves and other simple decorative elements that complement the lettering and begin to give the design the appearance of a tree.
Session 4 — Completing Your Artwork
Refine the lettering, decoration and spacing before bringing everything together into a balanced, finished family tree.
