Festive Calligraphy Workshop at The LAB Cocktail Bar, Cambridge
The LAB Cocktail Bar and The Cambridge Calligrapher are teaming up to bring you a creative evening of calligraphy, relaxation and great company surrounded by festuve beauty and stunning views.
Learn the beautiful art of Modern Calligraphy with a Festive Theme. There will be gift tags, wrapping paper, wax seals and a lovely introduction to modern calligraphy.
This workshop is designed for complete beginners so no experience is necessary. You will start by understanding the basics of how to use a dip pen and nib with simple exercises learning to create thick and thin strokes, then applying these techniques to working your way through the alphabet creating letterforms in calligraphy. You will then be guiding through letter joining and creating words in a modern calligraphy style with lots of guidance and demonstrations. The small group size will ensure you have lots of personal attention, fun and feel ready to create a beautiful poster, card or gift tags.
In the second part of the session you will apply your new skills to work on your chosen festive project using calligraphy ink. We will add embellishments and gold foil to elevate your creation. There is also a full wax seal station ready for you to experience the magic on the day.
Experienced Calligraphers are also very welcome to come and use my improvers workbook instead.
All materials are provided including a starter kit, nib, nib holder and ink which you will take home with you to continue your calligraphy practice.
