Event Description

Watercolour Calligraphy Workshop

Friday 7th February | 10.00am – 12.30pm

Spend a morning learning the wonderful art of Calligraphy with a difference, using coloured ink. Relax in our craft barn and be inspired by the beautiful surrounding views of Nottinghamshire’s rolling countryside.  Guided by our exceptionally talented tutor Nikki Whiston, she will teach you the techniques step by step for you to use a paint brush, so by the end of your session you will be writing short quotes using your beautiful letters.

The perfect way to spend your morning, learning a new craft and discovering a new passion.

This workshop is ideal for all levels of ability, no experience needed. All materials, tools and light refreshments are included in the workshop price so you don’t need to bring anything, just yourself. You will also be able to keep your paint brush and a pot of coloured ink so you can continue your new found skill at home.
