Date: Tuesday, 5th August 

 

Tutor: Jen Roffe is a lettering artist with 10 years of experience creating, exhibiting and selling her own collection of calligraphy prints and working on signage for events and businesses. She teaches regular Brush Calligraphy workshops in Hertfordshire as well as offering corporate team building workshops and special calligraphy events at Christmas.

 

Description: Learn how to create beautiful lettering using brush-pens in the relaxed and informal style of modern calligraphy. In this workshop we will learn all the beginner rules - and then how to break them - to begin creating our own fun, unique style. 

 

Demonstrations throughout the day will cover the essentials of modern calligraphy style - how to position yourself, your pen and the paper, and how to use the brush pens to maximum effect. Together we will learn beginner brush strokes and mark making, and practise cursive script alphabets. Using the techniques we’ve learnt we will practise with template designs and create our own hand-lettered pieces that we can frame or send as cards. Before long you’ll be creating birthday cards, invitations and tags for every gifting event in the calendar, plus ensuring yourself some creative ‘me-time’ for some mindful moments of creativity at home. 

 

A full brush calligraphy starter kit will be available for each student on the day for £10 which includes both black and gold metallic brush-pens, templates, practise sheets, blank cards, envelopes and gift tags for use both during the day and for further calligraphy creations at home. 

 

Also suitable for beginners.
