Fundamentals of modern calligraphy with brush pens: layout and composition

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

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

After learning the basic strokes, how to join them to form letters and words, and how to add flourishes to your letters in the first three classes, in this session you will put together everything you have learned and create your first calligraphy artwork. You will learn simple and effective ways to lay out a short slogan or quote, how to arrange words and decorative elements on the page harmoniously, and how to use negative space for balance.

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.
