Discover the art of traditional calligraphy in this hands-on workshop, led by artist Jan Pickett, focused on the creation of decorative capitals. 

Delightful to draw and wonderful to decorate, these free-flowing letters have been found breathing life into manuscripts for thousands of years.  Constructed using a series of basic shapes in different combinations, artist Jan Pickett will lead you through the process, from the initial construction of the forms to their embellishment with watercolours and even a little gold! 

Please bring your own lunch, or you can grab a light bite from our Coffee Shop. You will have the opportunity to have lunch with your fellow course members and Jan herself.

 

Suitable for all levels.
