Creative Calligraphy and Angela Reed
Creative Calligraphy is based in the north east of England and is run by calligrapher and tutor Angela Reed.
Angela specialises in traditional calligraphy scripts and has over ten years’ experience teaching calligraphy through friendly, supportive weekly classes in South Shields and Sunderland, welcoming everyone from complete beginners to more experienced calligraphers.
Alongside her teaching, Angela also undertakes commissions for a range of clients, including universities, churches and cultural organisations across the region.
I really enjoyed the day and thought Angela was a very warm and encouraging teacher. I hope our paths cross again.
