Dip Pen & Ink
​
​Regular Calligraphy Classes for
​Beginners & Improvers
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.

​A small group (max 8) means you'll enjoy personal and close tuition. 
There will be demonstrations of lettering and individual guidance to uncover the potential to expand your own ideas with a view to creating a unique piece of work.  

​An array of tools and techniques used will also be explored.


All classes are offered individually with no commitment beyond each workshop.  They can be booked as a block of six or more for a discounted rate.  Also ten percent off for a double session on Saturday.

​Basic calligraphy materials are included and extra supplies are available to buy.  You'll need to bring a few basic items such as pencil, ruler, etc., but I'll provide a list on booking. 
The venue is a well-lit and peaceful workroom within the Mistley Quay Workshops with a stunning view out over the River Stour. 

​There'll be plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits.  For our lunch break, bring something from home or there's a cafe next door.

Unrestricted parking nearby. Nearest railway station is Mistley, 2-3 minutes walk away.

Please note : Access to the building is via a staircase.
