Christmas is quite possibly the best time of the year for calligraphy! Joining this Christmas Brush Pen Calligraphy class will give you time to get ahead of the game and be ready to send thoughtful handmade cards and add beautiful tags to all of your gifts this year.
If you've always wanted to learn calligraphy but felt daunted and a little overwhelmed, not knowing how to begin then this is the class for you! In this two-hour workshop, you will learn the techniques necessary to produce beautiful lettering.
A workbook will be provided and is yours to take home and keep practising. You will also take away your own professional brush pen trio so that you can continue your new hobby at home.
Your tutor, Nicki, will give you individual support as you learn this wonderful skill. A pop-up shop will be available at the class should you wish to purchase extra supplies such as cards, tags or more brush pens.
You don't need to bring anything - just yourself and lots of enthusiasm but feel free to bring an apron if you wish. All materials supplied by ND Calligraphy are vegan and cruelty-free.
Cost: £28 plus £10 payable to the tutor on the day to cover extra materials
