Summer Calligraphy Workshop at Daylesford Organic, Cotswolds
Cotswolds Calligraphy at Daylesford Organic this Summer 2022!
Beverley, Polly and Lucy Mellor from Mellor & Rose are delighted to welcome you to their Summer Calligraphy Workshop at Daylesford Organic on July 19th from 10am – 12:30pm.
Here’s what we’ll be getting up to
During our special 2.5 Hour Workshop, we’ll be kicking things off by learning the fundamentals of this stylish and elegant art form; how to hold the pen, letter forms, pressure strokes, rhythm etc. We then continue onto the upper and lower alphabets, moving onto words and phrases – this ensures we have a sold technique. Here in the second half of the Spring Calligraphy Workshop, we begin to look to the festive pieces and learn to hand letter our very own Greetings Cards, Gift Tags and Words and phrases all in time to create personalised memories for your loved ones – lovely! We create our festive pieces using templates, where we then transfer over the designs to Wall Art, Cards, Greetings and Tags etc.
Take some time away from our screens and pick up a pen – possibly a new pen, a pen we haven’t held before – a dip pen! In our workshops, we use a metallic nib and to get the desired effect of lovely calligraphy, we simply dip the nib into a pot of ink – a method rather therapeutic in itself. Once we have the hang of the core technique – we work through the individual letters of the alphabet and joining of the words to then spacing and layout, plus a couple of ornaments here and there!
What’s included?
Priced at £95, for a 2.5 Hour Workshop, Starter Kit + Calligraphy Workbook, 2 Workshop Tutors and Refreshments. No experience needed, only enthusiasm.
