Have you ever wanted to try your hand at Calligraphy or would like to up your skill level?
Why not come along to our friendly classes where you'll be shown how to form beautiful letters using traditional dip pen and ink. Maximum of 8 per group means you'll enjoy close tuition. The sessions are run regularly, generally fortnightly and can be booked individually with no commitment beyond each workshop. Attending regularly helps with consistent progress and a 10% discount is offered for block bookings of 4 or more classes. They are mixed ability, from absolute beginners to those wishing to improve, with each student tutored according to their level. The main scripts I teach are Copperplate (pointed pen) and Italic (broad-edged pen) but I'm happy to discuss teaching other scripts. As part of the deeper learning process, we also explore skills and art techniques that can be used to enhance your calligraphy. Basic calligraphy materials are supplied. I also have a small 'shop' with supplies for sale. You'll need to bring a few items with you such as pencil, ruler, etc., but a list will be provided on booking. There'll be plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. WEDNESDAYS are split into two 3-hour lessons: Morning: 0930 - 1230 Afternoon: 1300 - 1600 £30 per session, discounted to £48 for the full day. SATURDAY mornings are 3 hours from 0930 - 1230 £30 per session A 10% discount will apply to bookings for 4 classes or more. PLACES AVAILABLE

COMMENTS from my lovely students! Thank you all.
"Thoroughly enjoyed my first experience of learning Copperplate calligraphy. Very well organised, and a very friendly atmosphere. Julie is an excellent teacher".
JANET "Julie is an excellent teacher, explaining and demonstrating the formation of individual letters, as well as teaching artwork and gilding. She is a very patient tutor, generous to share her expertise and the wide knowledge that she has gained from her experience, that does not appear in any textbook. I highly recommend her courses". "Such a lovely day, Julie was a very patient and lovely teacher. The other ladies in the group were also nice and friendly. We had a great day". "Really enjoyed the class and learnt a lot from Julie. Hopefully going to her classes again soon. Found the class really friendly, would recommend to anyone". I have been attending Julie's Saturday morning calligraphy classes for three years and cannot recommend them highly enough. Julie is an excellent teacher - calm, patient and always encouraging. The atmosphere in class is friendly and relaxed (tea, coffee and biscuits always on offer) and I have had the opportunity to meet some lovely people. If you are interested in giving calligraphy a go, look no further. Julie Chaney offers absolutely the best tuition and you will be delighted to discover what you can do! |
