Festive Modern Calligraphy - Baubles & Gift Wrap - Friday 22nd November - 7pm - 9pm

FESTIVE MODERN BRUSH PEN CALLIGRAPHY Baubles & gift wrap

Calligraphy is defined as the art of drawing beautiful letters. Brush pens are ideal for beginners as they are easily accessible and you can practice anywhere. They are suitable for both left & right-handed calligraphers.

This festive session will be perfect to develop your skills and try out new techniques while enjoying some time to relax and experience the mindful effects of practising beautiful hand-lettering.  

Spend time getting to grips with using the pen and learning the technique of release and pressure to create consistent thick and thin lines. Using worksheets, Kat will guide you to create calligraphy strokes and letter shapes, moving on to forming the lowercase, then uppercase alphabet and joining the letters to form words.

Use your practice brush strokes & warm up drills to create fabulous, unique wrapping paper that will delight your gift recipients!

Then, try out your calligraphy skills by drawing directly onto a ceramic bauble. Kat will guide you to draw out your chosen name or word onto paper to work out your design. Use a chalk pencil to sketch onto the bauble before going over in pen. You may use the same brush pen technique of applying pressure to create thick & thin lines, or Kat will show you another technique called “faux calligraphy” where you add the thick lines in afterwards.

We will provide you with all the tools you need, demonstrations and one-on-one support to troubleshoot any individual difficulties you come across.

As well as your hand-lettered wrapping paper and bauble, you will leave with a brush pen, worksheets, templates, and a list of resources; everything you need to continue to have an enjoyable time practising and developing your unique style of brush pen calligraphy!
