BRUSH PEN CALLIGRAPHY

Learn how to do Modern Calligraphy with a brush pen in this fun and interactive workshop.

LEARNING MODERN CALLIGRAPHY WITH A BRUSH PEN.

About the workshop

First and foremost, the term “Modern Calligraphy” is a calligraphy style where all boundaries of traditional calligraphy are broken in order to form our own unique and beautiful style. It is most commonly seen on wedding signages, invitation cards and envelopes, murals, cards, prints and even stickers.

It doesn’t matter if you have poor handwriting or penmanship, Calligraphy is the art of drawing letters. This workshop class will cover everything you will need to know to kickstart your calligraphy journey.

In this class specifically, we will be primarily using the brush pen for the class. I believe this is the most basic medium type that all first-time calligraphers should learn first. It is very similar to holding a pen and once you start practicing, it will become very comfortable with the thin and thick strokes required in calligraphy.

With my guidance through the fundamentals, and your practice and dedication, you will soon be able to create lots of beautiful personalized calligraphy items for your friends and family. In this class, I will answer all your questions and provide you with my undivided attention.
