Beginners Festive Modern Dip Pen Calligraphy Workshop

Join me for a cosy and creative Sunday afternoon at Hillcrest Centre, Newhaven, where you'll be gently guided through the magical world of dip pen calligraphy - with a festive twist!

This beginner-friendly workshop is perfect if you’re completely new to calligraphy or simply craving a peaceful, Christmassy creative session. We’ll start by getting to know the tools - assembling your pen, learning how to dip properly, and exploring the basics of modern calligraphy. Then, you'll warm up with simple exercises to build confidence with shapes and strokes.

Next, we’ll move on to festive-themed practice – tracing letters, seasonal words, and phrases using specially designed worksheets. You’ll experiment with rich seasonal colours as we work towards creating your own hand-lettered holiday cards, gift tags, and envelopes - all ready to take home and share with loved ones.

Throughout the workshop, I’ll be on hand to guide you, answer questions, and help you add your own creative touches - including mini festive illustrations and sparkly embellishments to personalise your pieces.

What’s included:

• All materials and tools for use during the session
• Take-home festive worksheets, gift tags, and greeting cards
• The option to purchase your own calligraphy kit after the class

This joyful two-hour workshop is a lovely way to unwind, try something new, and soak up some festive magic - all while making something beautiful by hand.
