BRUSH CALLIGRAPHY WITH COLOUR - USING METALLIC INKS - 7 AUGUST

Date: Thursday, 7th 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 a beautifully illustrated and hand-lettered piece using  metallic brush-pens. In this workshop we will learn the relaxed and informal style of modern  calligraphy - the key calligraphy strokes, a cursive script alphabet, and then go  on to learn how to transfer calligraphy to dark coloured surfaces and add colour  layers to create some really eye-catching effects. Using the techniques we’ve learnt, we will practise with template designs and  create our own hand-lettered piece on card, ensuring the opportunity of some  creative ‘me-time’ and some mindful moments of creativity during the day. 

 

A brush calligraphy kit will be available for each student on the day for £10 which  includes a variety of metallic brush-pens, templates, practise sheets, and blank  card for use both during the day and further calligraphy creations at home. 

 

Suitable for beginners.
