Join Beverley and Lucy from Mellor & Rose for our New Full Day Modern Calligraphy Workshop here at Just Makers located at beautiful Ripley Castle on Saturday August 26th from 10:30am - 4:30pm. £125.

This full day detailed Workshop is tutored by both of us (Beverley Mellor and Lucy Mellor) allowing for one-to-one tuition and encouragement at a relaxed pace and is accompanied with our Mellor & Rose boxed Calligraphy kit which has everything needed for the workshop and beyond (homework!)

During the first half of the workshop you will learn all the basic fundamentals of modern calligraphy with a full introduction to technique and how to use and hold a dip pen and ink to create smooth strokes with a pointed nib.

The workshop will begin with learning basic strokes and pen marking (highly enjoyable to do) in order to achieve the characteristic thick/thin strokes with some fun exercises before moving onto our own Mellor & Rose alphabet templates; when time will be spent developing our style and gaining confidence with using the pen in forming the lovely letters and gradually progressing to linking up and onto creating words and phrases.

Calligraphy is highly relaxing to learn and great fun to do and is so versatile with a host of different uses throughout the year. In this workshop as well as learning letters we will learn how draw some beautiful summer botanicals to pair with your lettering, to add to a summer menu perhaps or wedding place names - lovely to learn and so relaxing to do! Complete with Calligraphy Box includes starter kit, Mellor & Rose Calligraphy Workbook, script alphabet, first words and phrases, wall art, decorative illustrations and pre-templated stationery items.
