Copper Ink Pot Calligraphy Workshop

Date: Sunday 8th February
Time: 10am–12pm
Tickets: £55 per person

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

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!
