Course programme
You’ll begin with the basics such as learning how to use a flexible nib, creating a basic alphabet and writing capital letterforms. Then you’ll explore how to create your own style, incorporate flourishes and writing with different coloured inks.
Group and individual demonstrations supported by discussions and visual references, but mainly learning by doing. It would be beneficial if you could do some practise between sessions.Additional information
