"I began with the beginners calligraphy and enjoyed it so much I came back for the brush and chalk calligraphy workshops.
I have never done calligraphy before but had always wanted to learn. The classes only have a few students which is great as it’s a more intimate group. Beverley is a great teacher, she has such a calming influence and breaks the workshop down into easy steps. Brilliant as a creative afternoon and also great as a mindfulness activity.
If that’s not enough, there is always a break for coffee and a cake. Cannot recommend these workshops enough!"

"Mellor & Rose workshops take you into another world where you have permission - and, indeed, need - to slow down to produce beautiful lettering. Anyone can do it! The sessions are taught thoughtfully and are full of encouragement for participants of all levels of ability. A real antidote to our stressful times, and leading to feelings of achievement and lovely skills and ideas for your own art and crafting."

Lucy, Liverpool
