About the workshop
Planning an event and fancy making your own invitations with beautifully written message ? 
Join me for 2.5 hours of  modern calligraphy using a pointed pen and ink at The Old Barn in Edinburgh.
 
No calligraphy experience necessary for this workshop, you will learn everything to get you started on your calligraphy journey. 
 
You will learn:
- how to prepare the nib and hold the pointed pen  and paper for comfort
- the basic strokes that form letters
- practise writing the alphabet (upper- and lower case)
- how to join letters to form words
- practise writing words and phrases for events, such as birthdays, celebrations, weddings before moving onto your final project writing your very own invitation
 
All material is provided and for you to take home to continue practising your new skill. Your calligraphy kit includes a workbook with practise sheets, templates and guidelines, a pointed pen, a Nikko G nib, black Sumi ink and 2 invitation cards with matching envelopes.  Tea, coffee and homemade cake is also included.
 
The workshop is suitable for complete beginners and it doesn't require neat handwriting or drawing skills.
As we will be working with ink, we recommend not wearing your best clothes".
