REDISCOVER THE JOY OF HANDWRITING
WITH MELLOR & ROSE CALLIGRAPHY
Join Beverley, Polly and Lucy Mellor on one of our complete Handwriting Workshops in 2024!
Mellor & Rose's friendly Workshops bring together groups of likeminded people who want to try their hand at this super on-trend lettering style.
Do you notice really nice handwriting? It’s hard not to when we receive a lovely Birthday, Anniversary or Christmas Card with a handwritten greeting inside!
Handwriting is something we once all did but with smartphones and an abundance of tech at our fingertips, it’s something many of us simply don’t do (or really need to!) but for those of us that miss putting pen to paper but may find things a little rusty, well why not join us and take a bit of time away from our keypads and rediscover the joy of handwriting - and maybe improve/develop your handwriting skills as we learn to write in lovely relaxed cursive style!
REDISCOVER THE JOY OF HANDWRITING
We don't look for perfection in our handwriting - we look for emotion and look for clues as to what the person is feeling writing the message whether a birthday card or something important for work. Some say it's the 'lost' art of handwriting and I suppose there's some truth to that but really it's something we don't do too often and we're all just out of practice. We're keen to bring it back and give it some revamped coolness, in the form of cursive handwriting!
So, what’s this all about and what will I get out of the Workshop? Confidence. A confidence in your handwriting and doing justice to the thoughts running around in your mind and having the ability to put them down on paper effectively. Writing a card, writing an important note or message for work, signing a wedding book - all things you’ll not hesitate to sign with confidence.
This Workshop is not only for enjoyment, a calming practice to slow us down, aesthetically beautiful but our Workshop is also functional and will provide you with the technique and style to create some pretty good looking handwriting.
We'll be launching this new venture soon with info, images and details for you to browse - hope you guys will find this new Workshop good fun and also pretty useful!

KIND WORDS
"I attended a beginners modern calligraphy workshop at Lytham Hall hosted by Beverley and Lucy. The tutors were knowledgeable and encouraging. It was great to try something new and I've enjoyed practicing more at home with the worksheets provided in the beautifully presented calligraphy box. I've found a new hobby which is both relaxing and rewarding. I hope to attend another workshop in the future"

FANCY TRYING YOUR HAND AT DIP PEN CALLIGRAPHY?
BEGINNERS MODERN CALLIGRAPHY WORKSHOPS
Fancy joining our 2 and a half hour Beginners Modern Calligraphy workshop?
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!
