Beginner's Nib Calligraphy at Rutland Nursery
If you have often thought about trying your hand at calligraphy, why not join Vicky at Rutland Nursery and learn how to create beautiful lettering in this relaxed and informal workshop.
Creating your own style and enjoying the process is what Modern Calligraphy is all about. We teach you the tricks to turn your hand to modern calligraphy whatever your skillset and will guide you step-by-step through our carefully structured lesson plan which will take you through guided exercises, creating the letters of the alphabet and turning them into elegant words. Finally, you’ll work onto our lovely card templates, designed by Kirsten Burke, the UK’s leading calligrapher.
We’ll build your confidence by gradually adding to your understanding of the techniques which make modern calligraphy so beautiful. By the end of the class you’ll have progressed from making basic strokes to being able to connect letter forms and create your own calligraphic words and phrases.
As well as guiding the whole class with demonstrations and instructions, your tutor will be there to provide you with one-on-one tuition and troubleshooting any issues you may come across.
Throughout the workshop you’ll learn about letterforms, use metallics, and try some colour blending. With these techniques in your repertoire, you'll soon be creating greeting cards, party invitations and artworks for your home and loved ones!
Additional Information:
This workshop will take place in The Loft.
All the materials you’ll need are provided and refreshments will be supplied on arrival. There is plenty of parking available and if you wanted to extend your day, there is a lovely restaurant where you can treat yourself to lunch after the workshop.

online: Beyond Beginner Wedding Workshop, 5 week course
Weddings are such magical time and we would absolutely love to help you to add the personal touch to your (or someone else's) special event. From save the date cards all the way through to the thank you notes, there is so much to think about and calligraphy is integral in setting the style of any wedding/event or special celebration.
Throughout the course, you will discover the tips and tricks to producing eye-catching calligraphy to elevate invitations, envelopes, table numbers, place settings, and wedding vows. We will look at how to bring seasonal elements into your designs to really capture the atmosphere.
Please note that the basic principles of modern calligraphy aren't covered - this is a 'Beyond Beginner' level course. You don't need to have much experience, simply to know how the nib and ink work and how to control the pressure and release of the pen.
The 5 week course will be delivered via Zoom and run from Tuesday 6th May to Tuesday 3rd June 2025. It will be recorded to allow you to re-watch.
Your kit is included as part of the course fee, and there is also an option without a kit for those that already have it.
