Summer Calligraphy Workshop
Be inspired by Kipling’s home and explore your own creativity through calligraphy workshops.
- Booking essential
For the first half of the session you will gain familiarity with the materials and learn the basic strokes of calligraphy by practicing uppercase and lowercase alphabets. Afterwards you will move onto learning how to add watercolour painting and creating summer inspired designs to take home on the day.
This course is perfect for complete calligraphy newbies as well as those who have tried their hand at calligraphy before and need a reminder of how much fun it can be.
Calligraphy beginner kits will be available to purchase on the day from Alina in addition to the workshop for £35. Payments for the kits can be taken by cash and card.
Friday 18 and Saturday 19 July, two workshops running per day at 11am–1pm and 2pm–4pm.
