About the event
Want to learn modern calligraphy and write your favourite book quotes on bookmarks?
Join me at Abbot House for a 2.5 hours workshop where you will learn the essentials of modern calligraphy using a brush pen to create your very own hand lettered bookmark.
 
You will learn:
how to set up your space / hold pen and paper for comfort
the basic strokes that form letters
how to connect your breath with the pen strokes
practising writing the alphabet,
joining letters to form words, 
practise writing bookish quotes and phrases from books.
Using the technique you've learned, you will then write your favourite quote/words on the provided bookmarks.
 
All materials are provided and for you to keep to continue your practice at home. 
Your calligraphy kit includes:
workbook with practice sheets, templates and guidelines
1 brush pen (small nib)
3 blank bookmarks
There will be different sizes and colours of brush pens to use during the workshop.
 
No calligraphy experience necessary for this workshop, you will learn everything to get you started on your calligraphy journey.
