Beginners Modern Calligraphy Workshop (LEAF on Bold Street)
28th January 2021 at 6:00 pm till 8:30 pm
£55
Hello LEAF on Bold Street!
Join us on our Beginners Modern Calligraphy workshop in Liverpool at LEAF on Bold Street on Thursday January 28th from 6pm till 8:30pm.
In our easy going sessions, we start from the very beginning. In the 2 and a half hours, we cover the fundamentals of this modern and versatile style of calligraphy, using a dip pen and a pot of ink. We’ll learn the entire alphabet; upper and lower case alphabets then we’ll progress onto joining up those individual letters to create words and phrases – we work on different papers to see how the ink reacts to glossier paper plus black ink on brown paper looks pretty lovely! From here, we delve into the layout elements of hand lettering – looking into varying ways to put your designs on paper (not only on a straight line!) along with the use of ornaments to shape our designs and bring some pop!
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?
Includes Starter Kit of dip pen, nib, entire upper and lower case alphabet, joining up the letters, practice sheets, design and layout sheets (wall art), ornaments plus stationery items to letter up. Plus, Refreshments of course.
