Calligraphy isn't just incredibly beautiful to look at it - this meditative practice is great for relaxation, it's a lovely break from screen time, and inspires us to be at our most creative by using our hands. So without further ado, would you like a great calligrapher to help you master this art?
Spend some time with professional calligrapher Alison where you'll design and create your very own unique piece of calligraphy. This is an opportunity to get away from technology and experience this calming historical art.
Alison will give you an introduction to this craft to get you started. Your workshop will cover:
How to write with a broad/chisel edge pen Creating the component parts of each letter Designing and writing an individual piece of calligraphy work
Calligraphy marker pens will be used initially - this will lead on to trying a metal, broad-edged pen and a quill. Bring your favourite words to write during the experience, these can be anything at all (including dates).
As this is a small group setting, everyone will be supported throughout. No experience is needed, just a willingness to have a go and explore this unique and historical art.

Very enjoyable experience, great teacher and a lovely environment and size of group. Learnt a lot and am looking forward to carrying on with what we were taught! Would definitely recommend to others as a lovely afternoon out!
Alison was an excellent teacher. Highly recommend her workshop.
Lovely experience!
Alison was a welcoming host, she was mindful of the groups energy and experience and guided us gradually through various practices and methods.
Great bonus was the coffee and pastries ! Sadly I found the venue a little too cold for the activity, a more intimate setting would have been better for the size of group.
The workshop was great and Id love to do it again!
This was a great introduction to calligraphy. I had never tried it before and we had the chance to try different pens including felt pens, fountain pens and a quill. Alison was a fab host and was welcoming and encouraging with lots of great knowledge about calligraphy. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to try calligraphy for themselves!
Please arrive a few minutes before the workshop starts to ensure we start on time. There will be small amounts of black ink used during the experience - therefore please consider what clothing to wear. There will be a break for tea/coffee.
Alison is a self-taught calligrapher who has been mastering this art from an early age and received some great guidance from inspiring tutors on her journey
