During the session, key modern calligraphy basics will be covered; how to use the essential tools, mark making drills to practice applying pressure to your new pen, and alphabet practices before moving on to whole words.

Emma from Emerald Paper Design will be giving demonstrations each step of the way, as well as being on hand for individual guidance. You will also receive a goodie bag to take away.

Your goodie bag will contain: 1 nib, 1 pen holder, 1 pot of ink and guide sheets for you to practice with at home.
