The Modern Calligraphy Co

Christmas Copperplate Calligraphy Workshop The pack for the workshop was sent promptly and included everything needed - ideal for anyone like me who is new to this technique. I was unsure how effective it would be online but the format worked well. The workshop included beginners and those with prior experience. Our teacher was friendly and professional. Her demonstrations were clear. She allowed plenty of time for questions through-out. All in all it was fun, informative and great value for money, I enjoyed it so much that I am considering signing up for the 5 week course next Spring.

Had the pleasure of attending the Beginners workshop with Beth in Tarporley on the weekend. (28 June) - I've always admired people that could do it but having handwriting like a toddler I didn't think it was for me. Beth really helped us all get to grips with the approach, even having us practice our breathing to match the flow of the pen. I've still no right in saying I can do calligraphy but I can certainly say I've had a go and loved it. Please do another one Beth !!!!

I attended the Brush Calligraphy workshop and couldn't recommend it enough! Kirsten and Maisie were really inspiring and I found the workshop both informative and relaxing. The surroundings were really comfortable and structure to the day was great; building up our confidence with lots of tutorials and plenty of time to practice, nothing felt rushed. The workshop only had about 12 attendees and the lunch was really lovely too. It all felt very personal. I will be back! 🙂

Absolutely brilliant workshop. A wonderful day well spent. Learned so much and came away with some really good skills and work to show off! All the team very welcoming and Maisie is a great teacher. The lunch was delicious. I thoroughly recommend this for a great day out for you, friends and family. You will not be disappointed. xx

I did a Beginners Pointed Nib workshop in Brighton and it was such a lovely, fun and therapeutic way to spend a morning. The teacher was kind, patient and full of great knowledge, and we were able to get stuck in with calligraphy almost straight away. It was just the right amount of challenging and it was really useful to have the teacher there to watch your technique and give simple pointers on how to improve. The teacher was also helpful when it came to giving advice on what equipment to buy so we could continue practicing and 24hrs after the workshop we got emailed a discount code to buy what we needed on the website. It's given me lots of confidence to get practicing.

Attended one of Kirsten’s Dip Pen Calligraphy Workshops. As a complete beginner I found the course interesting, quite demanding and great fun. The worksheets were well designed and progressive and challenging and the amount achieved in one day surprised me! Kiri and her colleagues were very welcoming and the studio was well set up and a relaxing place to work. The lunch and the sunshine outside were excellent. A fantastic day and excellent value. My wife and I will probably return to learn more from this talented artist.

I really enjoyed the brush lettering workshop I attended on 24th September. The content of the course was excellent and previous experience wasn't assumed. The pace of the course was very well judged and Maisie was not only patient but very encouraging too. The lunch was very good as well. We were invited to have a look at where everyone worked and got to meet Kirsten Burke as well, which was very nice. A small detail, but an important one for someone who is left handed, the pens that I was going to use were placed on the left handside of my work space. Nice touch. I would definitely book another course at the Modern Calligraphy Company. A sign of how much I enjoyed the day is that I have practiced everyday since attending. Thank you. Elayne
