FIZZ FRIDAY - Pointed Pen Calligraphy - Friday 23rd May - 7pm - 9pm

Calligraphy is a fabulous way to unwind and switch off! Learn the elegant art of calligraphy using a pointed pen nib and ink and create some beautiful place name cards and gift tags!

This session will be perfect for beginners looking to try pointed pen calligraphy while enjoying some time to relax and experience the mindful effects of practicing beautiful hand-lettering. 

You’ll spend time getting to grips with holding the pen and getting the nib angle correct. Learn the technique of release and pressure to create consistent thick and thin lines, the basis of calligraphy. Using worksheets, Kat will guide you to create the basic strokes needed to form letter shapes, moving on to making connections between the letters to form words. Special attention will be given to keeping the angle of your letters and the spacing consistent.

Kat will guide you with demonstrations and one-on-one support to troubleshoot any individual difficulties you come across.

All materials are provided, and you'll leave with a pointed pen, nib and ink, worksheets, templates and the confidence to continue your calligraphy journey. With a pointed pen, you can later learn most styles of Modern Calligraphy or more advanced traditional styles like Copperplate and its many variations.

Suitable for both right and left-handers.
