Fun Calligraphy and Brush Lettering classes / courses in Sydney

Calligraphy is a beautiful art to learn especially in this day of tapping on devices of all kinds and forgetting how to write with a simple pen. The art of calligraphy has been around for thousands of years and is a great option for anyone looking for fun things to do in Sydney or things to do on a rainy day in Sydney. It involves applying different amounts of pressure and techniques with nibs and pens to create stylised letters. Brush pen lettering is a more modern method of calligraphy, but is just as beautiful. 

Before now it has been difficult to find a good range of calligraphy lessons like brush lettering and modern calligraphy in one place. So we’ve sourced them for you, and on ClassBento, you will find the best calligraphy teachers in Sydney and the best calligraphy classes in Sydney at a location close to you.

Whether you are a beginner and want to know the basics of calligraphy or you have an interest in brush script lettering we are adding new classes for every week in Sydney. You will learn how to use calligraphy brushes and pens, calligraphy hand lettering and even lettering guides from local expert modern calligraphers in Sydney. Whether you’re looking for a short calligraphy course, or fun art classes in Sydney, you will be sure to find something to suit you. Our calligraphy lessons make great experience gifts and include everything from beginner’s brush lettering workshops to Shodo Japanese calligraphy classes, beginner’s calligraphy classes and an introduction to modern calligraphy.

Classes like this make fun hens party ideas because you can all work on practicing your calligraphy for wedding place cards, or it’s just a fun and relaxing thing to do with friends in Sydney on the weekend. And if you try a calligraphy lesson and decide that you want to continue to learn more, you can request private calligraphy classes so you can continue to expand your skills.

The classes will be a fun mix of demonstrations of calligraphy writing and different calligraphy fonts before you will go on to complete your own writing exercises using a brush pen or a proper calligraphy pen. You can expect to learn a lot and go home with your own calligraphy kit.
 

Health benefits of calligraphy

Calligraphy is a great form of meditation for the mind and has a myriad of physical and mental health benefits. It is mostly renowned for being a meditative practice. The concentration employed when doing calligraphy promotes mindfulness and has been proven to lower the heart rate, which is something that is found in people who practice meditation. Meditation is a great way to lower stress and deal with problems that come up in your day to day life. Calligraphy has also been proven to enhance cognitive function in the elderly and is recommended as a great form of relaxation and stimulation for people in aged care facilities.

This was a great class. Vanessa broke down all the brush stokes and each individual letter to make it feel like anyone can calligraphy (the class name is very suitable). The craft kit was well put together and fun to receive in the mail. Vanessa is a great teacher and very approachable.

Vanessa is a great teacher. The workshop was fun, and she was very friendly and open, giving us lots of tips. She taught us starting from the basics. It's great for people who get overwhelmed by all the YouTube videos and materal available online (like me). The online workshop went very smoothly with no hiccups. The box of material arrived very fast and it was well packed and very cute I highly recommend this workshop. Look at this picture of my before and after!

Really great session, nice way to ease into calligraphy especially for a first timer and no prior experience. Will most likely need a couple more sessions and practise to perfect my technique. Thanks Vanessa

This class was really well put together, every detail was thought about (including sending already filled water brushes in the kit). Vanessa was a great teacher so accommodating and she explained things in a very easy and simple manner. I thoroughly enjoyed this class. In this class the Vanessa breaks down the different brush strokes of brush lettering and shows you some ways water coloring is fun. Great class would recommend to others.
