Have you ever admired elegant handwritten notes, wedding invitations or place cards and wanted to be able to create your own? This beginner friendly, creative workshop, with Rosie from Ink Drops Calligraphy, will give you all the guidance you need to confidently create beautiful handwritten pieces.
Modern calligraphy, using a pointed nib and inks, allows for more freedom, creativity and individuality than formal classical scripts. A multitude of resources will be provided, including worksheets, a handmade booklet of different papers and cards for you to experiment and troubleshoot with, along with inks and different nibs to try out. Rosie will guide you in letterforms, layout techniques and colour blending. You will learn to create stylish strokes with a dip pen that responds to your hand’s pressure – soon you will find your own rhythm and flair, and have fun in the process.
