Workshop April 26: Brush Lettering & Modern Calligraphy

Learn to write beautifully in Stationshuset, Österskär

Welcome to an inspiring afternoon where we delve deep into the art of creating magic with a brush pen! This workshop is for those who want to find a creative break from everyday life and learn the basics of modern calligraphy with brush pens. We explore the technique behind brush lettering – the art of drawing letters with soft brush strokes – in a calm and non-prestigious environment.

Over two hours we will methodically go through the alphabet. You will learn how to control the pressure of the pen to create the elegant contrasts between thin and thick that characterize the style.

This includes:

• The basics of the alphabet: We go through the most important techniques and shape segments so you understand how the letters are built.

• Exclusive course material: You will receive a curated exercise booklet with the entire alphabet and special paper to take home, so you can continue practicing at your own pace.

• Coffee break: We offer coffee and fresh fruit during the session.

Create personal details for weddings and parties

Many people use calligraphy to put a unique stamp on life's big events. This workshop will give you the tools you need to create your own:

• Elegant invitations: Set the tone directly with handwritten text.

• Handwritten place cards: Give each guest a personal and tactile welcome to the table.

• Menus & Save the Dates: Create a common thread throughout your wedding print.

• Bespoke details: Perfect for those who want to combine modern text with botanical illustrations.
