Calligraphy and Brush Lettering classes - Sydney

Do you want to improve your handwriting or learn beautiful script? Why not learn calligraphy at fun calligraphy classes and brush lettering classes 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.

Paul Ramsey

Shodo Japanese Calligraphy Workshop

My 3rd class in 3 months. Ren is a fantastic teacher, was very detailed about how to write the characters, Explained how to space out all the different line strokes to stop me from overlapping onto other lines. Definitely showed signs of improvements for my 1st lesson mid January. Arigato Gozaimasu

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 + more

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 + more

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.

This was my first experience with Class Bento and with brush lettering. At first I was a bit unsure about going but I’m so glad I did. Vanessa was a wonderful teacher and made everyone feel welcomed and relaxed. She demonstrated each skill and then spent considerable time assisting every student. I appreciate that she’s also quite environmentally conscious and she donated the profits of this workshop + more

I had the best time learning a new skill in brush lettering. Vanessa our teacher was super helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. We learnt basic techniques in brush lettering and for someone like me who does not feel they have any confidence in their creative side this was a lot of fun! Vanessa really took the time to help. Hosted in a studio room adjoining a cafe the environment was super relaxed. + more

Vanessa is a talented teacher, she covered everything from the very basics one step at a time. The final result came easily and it was quite impressing considering I haven't handled a brush since primary school! I think Vanessa could probably teach elefants to fly, if only they wanted to!

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.
