On Saturday, March 10, join instructor Leaha Gathings for Calligraphy for Beginners from 10 am – 12 pm at The Charleston Museum!

The Calligraphy for Beginners Workshop will provide an introduction to pointed pen calligraphy. This class is perfect for anyone interested in pursuing the art of calligraphy! During the class, participants will become familiar with the basics of pointed pen calligraphy techniques. Have something of your own that you’d like to work on? Near the end of class, there will be time for students to practice on items from home, so feel free to bring envelopes, a journal, or another item!

No previous experience or artistic ability required. A starter kit will be provided to all participants to use during class and to take home afterward. The kit includes an alphabet for practice, an oblique pen holder, 2 nibs, a jar of ink, tracing paper, gridline practice paper, and detailed instructions on how to use all supplies.

If you are left handed, please notify us in advance, as a different pen will need to provided. Please email [email protected].
