Please see the contact form below.
Any changes or extra activities/meetings will be announced on the blog.
Meetings are held from 10am to 1pm.
Visitors are welcome to attend our meetings and workshops and there is no obligation to join the group straight away - all that we ask for is a donation of £10 per person for each meeting attended. *Full day workshops, paid for by participants, must be booked in advance.
A materials list for each meeting and workshop is sent to members and visitors via the previous month's minutes, by email or on request. If starting out in calligraphy collecting a basic "kit" may be useful:
- - Writing board optional (bought desktop or plywood/light wood board)
- - Fountain, dip or cartridge pen(s) and nibs
- - Inks/paints (calligraphy, watercolour, gouache)
- - Pencil (HB or 3B)
- - Eraser (putty or plastic)
- - Ruler
- - Paper - layout or photocopying (for practice), cartridge/watercolour 200 gsm and above (for final work)
- - Craft knife or scissors
- - Masking tape
If you don't have items our members and tutors will be pleased to share their resources.
