Calligraphy for Kids Workshop

Learn an ancient art for today



8+ years & Adults     1.5 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests    

  $48 (Afterpay available)

In this uplifting workshop, you'll learn the art of calligraphy without needing perfect handwriting skills. You'll explore a very ancient letterform that dates back to the very first Bibles and discover how it evolved into an ornamental script still seen in beautiful books.
  • You'll start by mastering circles and circular letters, working large and using simple tools.
  • Subsequently, you'll progress to working with smaller metal pens.
  • The class will culminate in writing inspirational phrases with finesse.
  • A second workshop will focus on learning the rest of the alphabet.
Using a modern washable ink, you'll create artworks with a touch of antiquity. All materials, including tools, inks, and paper, will be provided. As you immerse yourself in this enriching activity, you'll leave with your own piece of history – a beautifully crafted example of this traditional form of writing.
What you'll get
Paper and ink to write a completed phrase that they can choose or use their own.
Knowledge required

I am an architect and I learned Calligraphy in school. Becoming a member of the WA Calligraphers' Guild revived this skill and I extended my interest in lettering into cutout forms and folded card structures. I have contributed several articles to the American magazine Bound & Lettered and have learned from visiting Calligraphers from the US and UK. My works have been sold at the Between the Sheets book exhibition which takes place every two years and is at the TAFE gallery in Perth again this August.
