Regular Price £17.49 Sale Price £15.00 Kirsten Burke and Jill Hembling set up The Modern Calligraphy Company in 1997, establishing it as the leading contemporary calligraphy company in the UK. The company began life by creating pieces in calligraphy for The Globe Theatre- London. ​ Having begun to run modern calligraphy workshops for luxury brands, Bonnier Publishing approached them to create a book to teach beginners. Their book ‘Secrets of Modern Calligraphy’ proved hugely popular, being translated into Dutch and Slovak as well as being taken by American publishers. Teaching modern calligraphy in simple steps came naturally to them, and so when asked to create a follow-up book 'Secrets of Brush Calligraphy' they happily agreed. A practice pad followed, and then the pocket sized title ‘The Little Book of Calming Calligraphy’. Their latest book 'A Year in Calligraphy' came out in 2019, with different projects for each month of the year. It is their most ambitious so far, and will keep even the most enthusiastic calligraphers busy as it is packed with ideas, photography and expert advise. Kirsten Burke is a world-renowned calligraphic artist working with leading luxury brands. As founder and creative director of The Modern Calligraphy Company she aims to inspire beginners to start learning and encourage professionals to continue to develop their calligraphy skills. ​ Kirsten Burke W A T C H K I R S T E N A world-renowned calligraphic artist working with leading luxury brands.

Watercolour Calligraphy Workshops Watercolour calligraphy is a form of calligraphy where watercolour paints are used instead of traditional ink. This technique combines the art of calligraphy with the fluid, vibrant colors of paint. It involves using a pointed brush to apply paint to paper in a controlled and deliberate way to create letterforms. A popular choice for wedding invitations, greeting cards, and other special occasion stationery, as it allows for a unique and personalized touch. It is also a popular art form in its own right, with artists creating beautiful pieces that combine calligraphy and painting techniques to create stunning works of art. 1&2/6: Watercolour Brush Calligraphy 2 Day Course Sat, 01 Jun 01 Jun 2024, 10:00 BST – 02 Jun 2024, 16:00 BST West Dean, West Dean, Chichester PO18, UK 01 Jun 2024, 10:00 BST – 02 Jun 2024, 16:00 BST West Dean, West Dean, Chichester PO18, UK West Dean College Share MORE INFO 11/09 Online: Watercolour Brush Calligraphy Course - 10 Weeks 10am-12 Wed, 11 Sept 11 Sept 2024, 10:00 – 12:00 BST Online 11 Sept 2024, 10:00 – 12:00 BST Online £295 includes fantastic kit for all attendees, RRP £100 Share MORE INFO New Arrival Quick View Van Gogh : Watercolour Paint Pocket Box Set of 15 half pan colours Price £25.00 Quick View Kirsten Burke Brush Pen Price £7.50 Quick View Ecoline Brush Pens Price £12.00 Quick View Pentel Touch Pen Individual Colours Price £3.10 Quick View Koi Coloured Brush Pen Price £3.00 Quick View Papermania Brush Pens Price £11.50 Quick View Pentel Touch Brush Sign Pen 12 Pack Price £32.50 Quick View Brush & Metallic Pen Gift Set Price £12.99 Gift Bundle Quick View Brush Pen Complete Bundle Price £25.00 Quick View Brush Pen Pen Blending Bundle Price £17.20 Quick View Finetec Coliro Metallic Colour Palette - Various Colours Available Price £24.00 Quick View Little Book of Calming Calligraphy Book Price £9.99 Quick View Secrets of Brush Calligraphy Book Price £12.99 Quick View Pen-Touch Fine Metallic Calligraphy Pen Price £3.95 Gift Bundle Quick View Brush Calligraphy Bundle Regular Price £20.98 Sale Price £19.00 Quick View Calligraphy Waterbrush Regular Price £5.00 Sale Price £4.00
