Modern calligraphy

ماذا ستفعل

Good lettering is a set of simple strokes repeated well. A calligrapher shows you how to hold a dip pen or brush pen, how pressure creates thick and thin lines and how to practise the basic strokes until they flow. Then you build the alphabet, join letters into words and start to find your own style. By the end you are writing names, quotes or place cards with flourishes you would not have believed at the start.

ماذا ستأخذ معك

Your practice sheets, a finished piece and often a starter set of pens or nibs and ink.
