This one-day calligraphy workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of the art. You will learn how to build your own recycled calligraphy tool — the Cola Pen — and use it to practice strokes and techniques. Vincent will give a short presentation of calligraphy artwork to inspire your own design. The workshop concludes with the creation of a unique calligraphy artwork on high-quality A3 paper, finished and ready to take home.
Paper, ink, pencil, tape as well as other materials will be made available to participants to provide them with a wide range of possibilities for their creations.
The workshop is suitable for all levels of experience.
