Regular Calligraphy Classes
for Beginners & Improvers Full details of classes and venue Mistley Quay Workshops, High Street, Mistley CO11 1HB
Come and join my calligraphy classes in the riverside village of Mistley. Immerse yourself in the art of beautiful writing - for pleasure, relaxation or study. After a short introduction to calligraphic styles, we will begin with the basics of forming elegant letters using pencil, traditional dip pen and ink. I offer two scripts to start you off : • Italic with a square-edged nib • Copperplate with a pointed pen The courses are suited to all levels of learning from absolute beginners to those wishing to improve. 
There will be demonstrations of lettering and individual guidance to uncover the potential to expand your own ideas with a view to creating your own unique pieces of work.
