2025 Calligraphy Workshops in North Essex
Description
Calligraphy workshops with Julie Chaney cater to a mix of abilities from absolute beginners to those wishing to improve and each student is personally tutored according to their level. BEGINNERS will learn the basics of forming beautiful letters using traditional dip pen and ink. Scripts are offered using either pointed nibs or broad-edged pens. IMPROVERS will be encouraged to build on their lettering skills with refinements and variations whilst learning about elements of design and incorporating art techniques in their work. Such a mix of abilities and skills leads to a better depth (and often speed) of learning for everyone. Full Day, Morning or Afternoon sessions are available on Wednesdays. Morning sessions only are available on Saturdays. All classes can be booked individually with no commitment beyond each workshop. The classes are kept to a reasonable size to ensure personal tutoring. The venue is a light and airy room within Ogilvie Hall with its own kitchen and WC. Car-parking is free. Disabled facilities include parking, access ramps and toilets. Nearest railway station is Manningtree, a short taxi ride away (1.2 miles).
What's included in the price?
