Fundamentals of modern calligraphy with brush pens: adding flourishes and embellishments

Join this beginner-friendly brush pen calligraphy class online and discover the joy of creating beautiful letterforms.

This class is the third of a four part series of online brush calligraphy classes for beginners.

After learning the basic strokes, and how to join them to form letters and words in part 1 and 2, in this session, you will learn ways to add a splash of personality to your writing with simple flourishes, embellishments and stylish touches. We will start with a recap of the previous classes, and then choose a few words to write and embellish. You will learn to identify the best areas for flourishes, practice flourishing with guidance, and experimenting with other kinds of embellishments.

After booking, you will be emailed a set of worksheets to use during the class and to keep practising in your own time. This series of classes is a relaxed way to reconnect with your creativity and learn the skills to add a personal, handmade touch to all your future projects.

The class will take place online over Google Meet.
