FAQ’s

What is included?

A 2 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 worksheets and final pieces. Tea/coffee and cake is included during the workshop, along with a voucher for £5 off your lunch if you decide to stay, as well as a voucher for 20% off your next visit.

But what is in the kit?

You will have a pen holder, nib, a jar of black ink along with worksheets, practise paper and some luxury card.

Will I receive a ticket?

I don’t send out paper tickets, you should receive an email confirmation for your order and then I will send you an email a day or two before the workshop just with some final details.

If you are purchasing a ticket as a present, please get in touch and I would be happy to send you a voucher that you can gift.

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 practicing some words before making our final piece. 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 - location depending, 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.

Can I buy the ticket for someone else?

Of course - just let me know their names and tick the gift option if you would like a handmade and personalised voucher.

I now can’t make it, can I have a refund?

Unfortunately workshops are non-refundable but I would be happy to transfer your date to a future workshop.
