Foundational Hand Calligraphy
June 28 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
£29Foundational Hand is a traditional calligraphy script written with a broad-edged pen and a great introduction for beginners to ‘the art of beautiful writing’. In this workshop, calligrapher Angela Reed will help you get to grips with a calligraphy pen, before moving on to basic strokes and the creation of letter forms. You will then be guided through the process of creating a hand-lettered quote to take home.
Please bring lunch with you. Drinks will be provided.
This workshop is generously subsidised by The Shipley Art Gallery, part of Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums, as part of its adult workshop programme.
