Calligraphy & Watercolour - A creative bereavement support workshop

During this hands-on workshop, you'll explore the art of watercolour and brushpen calligraphy to create beautiful, personalised creations. Grace will guide you step by step, teaching simple techniques in both calligraphy and watercolour, along with helpful tips to support your creative journey.

You'll make personalised creations in memory of your loved ones with your choice of Calligraphy Christmas Cards, 3 words postcards & personalised letters.

Take time ahead of the workshop to think about what you might want to write; a message to put in your Christmas card, what 3 words to describe your loved one, or write out a memory or a message to put into a letter where you'll write their name, any headings for memories and sign the letter in beautiful calligraphy lettering. You'll then have a chance to put these creations into our 'Thinking of you' community postbox outside at the end of the workshop.

Included:

1. Personalised envelope for your loved one

2. Your creation - Calligraphy Christmas Card, 3 words postcard or personalised letter

3. All materials provided

This event is not a bereavement support group or a ‘death café’, but it is part of Full Circle Funerals’ ongoing efforts to support more open and supportive conversations around death, dying, and bereavement. You don’t have to talk about these topics at all on the day—but if you want to, the space is here for you. You’ll be surrounded by people who are open, understanding, and happy to listen.
