Course programme

We will be writing with gel pens, italic fountain pens and flexible pointed nibs and, for those wanting more of a challenge, there will be an opportunity to try pointed brush pens.

During the class there will be group and individual demonstrations. You will be given examples and worksheets which enable you to develop at your own pace. It will be beneficial if you can do some practice between sessions.
