Oakham: Beginner Workshop

Discover the basics of modern calligraphy in our inspiring and creative workshop.

Join us for a relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable two and a half hour workshop devoted to the art of hand-lettered cards and beautifully decorated envelopes. Perfect for beginners and those simply wishing to add a little charm to their stationery, this session will guide you through creating elegant alphabets, playful phrases, and thoughtful touches to make your cards feel truly special.

You’ll learn a series of simple drills and exercises which not only help you gain confidence with your lettering but can also be used to adorn your envelopes – ensuring they look delightful before they’re even opened. With plenty of tips on layout, spacing and flourish, you’ll put everything into practice as you design your own set of cards on the day.

All materials are included: cards, envelopes, worksheets, and step-by-step guidance from your tutor. You’ll leave with new skills, a host of ideas, and the inspiration to continue creating your own designs at home.

A lovely way to spend a couple of hours, unwind, and enjoy making something beautifully personal.
