  • Just yourself, I will provide you with a starter kit to take home which has everything you need to get started.

  • Absolutely, this workshop is aimed at complete beginners. I will take it from the top and teach you everything you need to know to get started.

  • Of course, I will have some great tips for you on the day and will help you throughout. In my experience, lefties always surprise themselves!

  • I’ll teach you the basics of modern calligraphy which includes, basic strokes, uppercase & lowercase alphabet, numbers and double letters.

  • I’d advise not to wear your favourite top and you might need to roll up your sleeves. Occasionally you might smudge the ink with your hand, so just be prepared. This applies to the modern calligraphy workshop only.
