Beginner Calligraphy Birkenhead Workshop Oct, 2024

Beginner Calligraphy Birkenhead Workshop Oct, 2024. Learn the art of lovely lettering with Emma from Inkberry Calligraphy at a Beginner Calligraphy Workshop. It will be held at the Highbury House 110 Hinemoa Street, Birkenhead, Auckland 1022 on the 26th of October, 10am – 12 noon. We also have a workshop in Auckland Central on the 19th of October if that suits better.

Calligraphy is not only a relaxing hobby but it can be practical too. Perfect for addressing envelopes, making greeting cards, gift tags and place names, you’re really only limited by your imagination! The workshop is a supportive, fun, friendly environment to give the art of calligraphy a go.

In the class you will be shown the best equipment to use for dip pen calligraphy and then learn the foundation letters of Modern Calligraphy. By the end of the lesson you will be able to write your name and we will also make a bespoke greeting card for someone special. Let’s get lettering!

ABOUT THE TUTOR

I’ve been doing calligraphy for 35 years and am passionate about lettering. Using a variety of nibs and inks, paints and paper, I love bringing language and design together to create bespoke stationery. In a fast-paced world, calligraphy is hand done, perfectly imperfect and every letter and word is unique.

I was taught traditional calligraphy but now I mostly use modern calligraphy lettering styles and methods. This new take on old styles is elegant, classic and magical. These letters are full of flourishes, bounces and swirls. I hope this popular lettering style will kindle the same passion for the timeless art of calligraphy in you.
