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.

Jenna Pedersen

Introduction to Modern Calligraphy

Great class and teacher! Shows you how to set everything up and work through the basics slowly, with lots of helpful tips. It was my first time even holding a calligraphy pen but it never felt overwhelming or too difficult. I had a lovely time, thanks Azalea!

I had a great time at the Modern Caligraphy Workshop. Icy is an excellent teacher. I completed this workshop having already completed Icy's bullet journalling workshop. I'd highly recommend the caligraphy workshop to anyone interested in getting started. This workshop is great for novices like me.

Thank you Icy! I had a great time in your calligraphy workshop. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to pick up the basics :) Even as a left-handed person who has never attempted calligraphy before. I will be back!

Anyone Can do Brush Lettering Workshop

This workshop was the best way to spend a creative morning. The venue is perfect with a great vibe. Vanessa is lovely, patient, easily approachable and very helpful. It was a reduced number of people in this class due to covid, which actually was nice as Vanessa had more time to give feedback to everyone. All materials were provided and they were nice and easy to use, and perfect to take home and keep practicing. I felt like the time was flying during the workshop! I got a lot of personalised tips from Vanessa and she really made us all excited about brush lettering. I highly recommend this workshop, whether in-person or online.

Timothy Williams

Shodo Japanese Calligraphy Workshop

Ren San is an excellent teacher a real Sensei of calligraphy
The space is well lit with windows on the south and east, the materials and work tables beautifully prepared.
He talked about the importance of breath, of calm, of how the brush transmits your state of mind. He finds out what you know and adapts to your level. You learn how to prepare the ink, Ren listens for the correct grinding sound on the stone.
He teaches Brush technique and exercises to practice. A word is chosen, the strokes, their order and the balance of spaces between were practiced on thin paper again and again and discussed, then you commit to a beautiful piece of board.

After a fleeting hour, You go home with a beautiful thing peace

Calligraphy Workshop: Breathe Your Words Out

This workshop is very well paced, structured, all the material such as the crystal with our name and ‘word’ that we received are personalised. It’s a very well planned and thought out workshop which is beyond my expectation. Not only I learnt how to do calligraphy but also had a chance to tap into my inner intuition during the workshop. It’s highly recommended and now my friends are asking when the next one is! Can’t wait to do another one with Vanessa from Bondi Letters!

Can’t wait to start practicing at home

Naomi Byrnes

Introduction to Modern Calligraphy

The hand outs, practice sheet and lesson structure was really clear to me. I appreciated hearing how Azalea has developed her style over time, and patiently practiced for many months before moving to joined writing. I found it peaceful to sit and repeat the core lines and repeat different letters to see how their strokes work.

Shasta Marcelo

Introduction to Brush Lettering Class

I liked the pace. Teacher was friendly and gave us a quick demo for each section so most of the time we could practice ourselves.
