Spend a Saturday morning learning modern calligraphy with me! This workshop provides everything you need to know, kit to take home and a hot drink is included.

No experience is necessary.

A two hour workshop - you can take some time out and spend some time on your own, or come with friends and family to try your hand at a new skill. A beginners calligraphy kit is included for you to keep and take home as well as your final work.

What is in the kit? You will have a pen holder, nib, a jar of black ink, my own handmade gold ink, along with worksheets, practise paper and some luxury card, with envelopes and gift tags and a box to store it all in.

What will we do? We will begin with an introduction to modern calligraphy techniques, some warm up strokes before practising the alphabet and then moving on to some words and styles so we can create our own pieces. There will be full guidance throughout and I will be there to help you and answer any further questions you might have.

Can I buy more card and ink colours to continue my practise and make more at home? Yes! I have lots of additional extras available to buy at each workshop, from extra practise paper and books, to my own handmade metallic inks as well as a variety of nibs, pen holders and brush pens.

But my handwriting is rubbish! That doesn’t matter at all. I’ll tell you a secret - so is mine! This is all about slowing it down, taking it easy and going with the flow. It is easier than it looks, you will have fun and you will be so proud of what you achieve!

I’m left handed - does that matter? Not at all, there are many left handed calligraphers!

Is there a group limit? Yes - there will be a maximum number of people per workshop to allow each person has full support and I can answer everyones questions should you have them.

Is food available? Yes - Yalm is a food hall located in The Royal Arcade in Norwich City Centre. Why not make more of an occasion of it and get some food at Yalm for lunch after - if you haven’t been yet then now is the perfect chance for an exciting meal out after learning something new - a perfect day!

Serious Sam Barrett and Georgia Shackleton

Don’t miss an exclusive evening with Serious Sam Barrett and Georgia Shackleton as they take to the stage at Yalm Food Hall for this month’s FOLK AT YALM.

An evening of powerful songs, rich stories and regional tradition, this concert brings together two distinctive voices from the English folk scene. From the rugged dales of Yorkshire to the windswept coasts of East Anglia, Serious Sam Barrett and Georgia Shackleton explore the songs and tunes of their home regions with passion and individuality.

Serious Sam Barrett
Otley-born Serious Sam Barrett is a hard-touring folk and country singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in Yorkshire landscapes and lived experience. Raised in the Dales village of Addingham and shaped by the Leeds folk scene, Sam’s raw, heartfelt performances draw equally on traditional songs and his own writing. Armed with 12-string guitar and banjo, he delivers music that feels both timeless and fiercely personal.

Since the release of his acclaimed debut Close To Home in 2009, Sam has built a reputation as a compelling live performer, blending intricate finger-picking with songs that carry echoes of Appalachian folk and southern blues while remaining unmistakably English.

Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2: “The sustained brilliance of this playing is really something to behold.”

Uncut Magazine: “Songs that rattle with the ghosts of Appalachian folk, and southern blues, yet sound emphatically English.”

Georgia Shackleton
Georgia Shackleton is a singer, fiddler whose work is deeply inspired by the traditional songs of East Anglia. Drawing from source singers such as Harry Cox, Walter Pardon and Phoebe Smith, Georgia brings old songs to life with clarity, warmth and a strong sense of place, alongside original material shaped by the same tradition.

Her acclaimed debut album Harry’s Seagull showcases her thoughtful approach to traditional material, praised for its storytelling, musicianship and emotional depth. Georgia’s performances are engaging and intimate, offering audiences a direct connection to the voices and landscapes of East Anglia. Tonight Georgia will be playing traditional music from East Anglia alongside self penned material from her new album 'From the Floorboards'.

Sam and Georgia offer a night of honest, roots-driven folk music grounded in tradition, and alive in the present.

"Beautiful Songs" - Mark Radcliffe, BBC radio 2

"Harry's Seagull shows just how invigorating traditional music can be and how old songs sung with affection can sparkle like new. One of the freshest and most appealing folk albums of the year" - Folk Radio UK

FOLK AT YALM presents Tarren

Don’t miss an exclusive evening with Tarren, one of the most exciting new forces on the UK folk scene, as they take to the stage at Yalm Food Hall for this month’s FOLK AT YALM.

Music can exist outside time. The new and the old are melded expertly by Tarren with their trademark sound that is progressing the Folk genre. This is New-Folk — captivating, rhythm-driven and emotionally charged.

Blending modular hooks and minimalist forms with traditional dance rhythms, Tarren create music that feels both ancient and entirely contemporary. Their tight musicianship and intricate arrangements are delivered through a playful prism that reflects the character of the trio, taking listeners from foot-stomping exhilaration to moments of deep sensitivity.

Original and traditional material sit side-by-side in a sound world shaped by:

• Sid Goldsmith (Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith, Awake Arise)

• Alex Garden (The Drystones, Harriet Riley & Alex Garden)

• Danny Pedler (Pedler // Russell)

Together they combine cittern and concertina, fiddle and accordion to create their distinctive New-Folk sound.

Formed during the 2021 lockdowns through the sharing of compositions online, Tarren quickly evolved into a powerful live trio. Their debut album REVEL (2022) received widespread acclaim, drawing comparisons with Faustus and Lau’s legendary debut Lightweights and Gentlemen.

Their second studio album Outside Time (2024) presents a developed and confident sound, gaining high praise across the folk world.

“Simply an excellent Folk trio” “Thrilling” – **** Songlines

“This new album (Outside Time)… further establishes them as a new and exciting act of the Folk scene with their own unique sound” – **** The Morning Star

“The sounds of fiddle and viola, cittern and English concertina, and accordion and hurdy gurdy have rarely sounded better, nor as much fun, as they do here – a testament to the talents of the trio and a confident and welcome signifier that English folk music is in very safe hands.” – Folk Radio UK

“A Mini Folk Supergroup!” – Tradfolk

“Tarren’s music feels traditional, but also fresh and original. It’s joyful, but with deep sensitivity. A freshness that deserves to have wider appeal.” – Folking.com

Expect driving rhythms, soaring melodies and a night that celebrates the pulse of traditional dance music while pushing folk into thrilling new territory.

FOLK AT YALM presents Will Pound & Jenn Butterworth

Join us for an extraordinary evening with Will Pound & Jenn Butterworth, a virtuosic duo celebrated across the UK and beyond for their electrifying interplay, improvisational flair and deep roots in traditional music. Born from a chance meeting at a folk session in 2018, their musical partnership quickly became a viral sensation during lockdown, bringing their dynamic performances to audiences around the world.

Drawing from English and Scottish folk traditions with influences from blues, gypsy jazz and global folk styles, Will and Jenn weave performances that feel alive, spontaneous and utterly captivating. On stage they engage in a playful musical cat and mouse — improvising and responding to one another in the moment, showcasing extraordinary instrumental skill and creative conversation through sound.

Will Pound is one of the most acclaimed harmonica and melodeon players of his generation, known for pushing the boundaries of his instruments with breathtaking virtuosity and deep traditional grounding. Jenn Butterworth is a sought-after guitarist and singer — awarded Musician of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards and nominated for a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award — renowned for her rhythmic drive, expressive playing and work with acclaimed ensembles like Kinnaris Quintet.

Their live shows are energetic, unpredictable and utterly compelling — from blues-tinged reels that will make you dance, to poignant strains of melody that linger long after the final note.

“ONE OF THE WORLD’S TOP HARMONICA PLAYERS” – The Telegraph (on Will Pound)

Their improvisations — alternating between –blistering drive and tender interplay — have captured the attention of audiences and critics alike, marking them as a duo who redefine what a folk performance can be.

Expect a night of dazzling musicianship, bold rhythm, joyful energy and the kind of spontaneous music-making that stays with you.
