Modern Calligraphy Workshops
These in person workshops take place in venues across Tayside, Perthshire, Aberdeenshire and Fife.
Perfect for beginners wanting an enjoyable and relaxed class to dabble in something new or as an introduction to learning how to write elegant modern calligraphy for your own projects.
Class sizes are small and intimate enabling 1 to 1 attention and expert tuition so you leave feeling confident to continue your practise at home.
You will be provided with your own personalised calligraphy kit and be guided through the technicalities of using a dip pen and ink, practicing individual letterforms before focussing on words/short phrases.
You will finish the workshop with a sense of achievement having completed a small but meaningful project such as a greeting card, gifts tags or short quote to frame.
Testimonials
“My first experience of calligraphy and it was fantastic. Jemma is an informative and enthusiastic teacher. I learnt so much from her course and can’t wait to do more.”
Claire B - Modern Calligraphy Beginners Workshop
“I really enjoyed Jemma’s calligraphy course. As an absolute beginner I felt confident by the end to go off and practice calligraphy by myself. The pace of the class was great and Jemma was really encouraging and patient.”
Ruth M - Modern Calligraphy Beginners Workshop
What a lovely afternoon. Jemma created a beautifully calm environment - the perfect atmosphere to learn something new. The workshop was paced perfectly for beginners- allowing participants to practice and build confidence without being overwhelmed with loads of things to remember. Absolutely loved my wee kit to take home so I can continue to practice. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone.
