    These parties can take place anywhere that has a private space with a suitable table & chairs and good lighting. Typically, the parties are hosted at the family home but can also be at hired venues.

Further info:

What's pointed pen?

Pointed pen is dip pen & ink. So I will provide each student with a dip pen holder with nib which is then dipped into ink. The nib tines open and close to create the think downstrokes and thin upstrokes. The ink is water-based so it comes out easily but I'd recommend not wearing anything precious, and covering the table with a table cloth.

What's brush pen lettering?

I will supply each student with a soft tip brush pen by Tombow. The pen can create the thick downstrokes and thin upstrokes when manipulating correctly. Brush pen lettering is a more casual style of calligraphy.

What's the pace of the workshop?

I usually go at the pace of the birthday girl, and encourage everyone to do the same thing at the same time. I demo a lot throughout, but it's a casual session where chit-chat is absolutely allowed and encouraged!

What else do you bring along?

I will chat to the organiser prior to the workshop taking place to ask about a colour theme for the session. I will then choose table decor, ink colour, ribbon colour, greeting card colour etc. to suit. I also bring with me a large whiteboard in order to demo letterforms and flourishes etc. throughout.
