Description

Cal­lig­ra­phy — the art of beau­ti­ful writ­ing is a very reward­ing prac­tice that helps us get into a mind­ful state and remain com­plete­ly focused whilst cre­at­ing some­thing beau­ti­ful. In this 6‑wk Beginner’s course, you will learn the basics of hand let­ter­ing and Mod­ern Cal­lig­ra­phy with Sai, an expe­ri­enced Cal­lig­ra­ph­er and teach­ing artist.

Using a tra­di­tion­al point­ed pen you will learn how to cre­ate beau­ti­ful thin and thick strokes through step-by-step demon­stra­tion. We start with basic drills, fol­lowed by let­ter for­ma­tion and faux Cal­lig­ra­phy and grad­u­al­ly progress into more advanced flour­ish­ing skills. We will explore dif­fer­ent nibs, inks, papers and oth­er essen­tial tools for Mod­ern Cal­lig­ra­phy. There will be plen­ty of oppor­tu­ni­ties to prac­tice and for trou­bleshoot­ing. By the end of the course, you will devel­op your own unique script that reflects your style and personality.

This course is suit­able for com­plete begin­ners. No pre­vi­ous cal­lig­ra­phy skills required. The book­ing fee is inclu­sive of all mate­ri­als, so you do not need to bring any­thing. Light refresh­ments will be provided.

All par­tic­i­pants will receive a spe­cial­ly curat­ed Mod­ern Cal­lig­ra­phy Starter kit which includes

  • Nikko‑G nib
  • Straight pen holder
  • Rho­dia prac­tice pad
  • Kure­take Sumi ink
  • Lay­out paper
  • Work­sheets and exemplars

If you always want­ed to try mod­ern cal­lig­ra­phy or you sim­ply want to write beau­ti­ful­ly, this course will help you to learn an amaz­ing life skill that is bound to spark your cre­ativ­i­ty and bring you joy.
