Modern Christmas Calligraphy

A
One-day workshop creating fabulous things for the festive season using unique
Modern calligraphy and hand lettering.

Tutor
Rosie will teach you how to write in the modern calligraphy type and harness
your own style, using loads of different mediums and surfaces. This course
Will help give you the confidence to use your new calligraphy skills for a
Wide range of festive uses such as personalised gifts, decorations, cards
Gift tags and more!

Start
By learning to write each letter in capital and lower case in the calligraphy
style. Rosie will demonstrate each swirl, swoosh and flick that makes a
Calligraphy alphabet look impressive and you'll practise how to give each
Letter its own identity before starting to join the letters up to make words.
Give each word flare and add embellishments to create your calligraphy’s
Unique look.

Once
You've harnessed the letters and words we'll start being really creative and
Think about what we'll use them for: greetings cards, tree or wall
Decorations, beautiful quotes or names for personalised pressies, gift tags
and wrap to really make your gifts special and more. Learn how to make them
Look professional yet personal, using a range of drawing/writing media.

And
You'll also practise on different surfaces - paper is just the beginning!
Modern calligraphy looks fabulous on wood, glass and plastic and each feels
Completely different.

Once
You've finished the workshop hopefully you'll be Masters of your own writing
And the amazing things you can create with it!
