FAQs
What if I’ve got terrible handwriting?
That’s ok! Our workshop sheets are designed to get you started, with tracing and copying.
You’ll be surrounded with examples that have been made to inspire you. And our faux calligraphy technique can be used on any handwriting imaginable!
What shall I wear?
You can wear anything you’d like! Something comfy or something glam!
You’re more likely to get ink on your hands than anywhere else.
Does it make a difference if I’m left handed?
The pens you’ll be using won’t smudge easily, but if you’ve found a pen you know you’re already used to, bring it along!
Fine liners are preferred, but our faux calligraphy technique can be created with any pen!
Just let us know beforehand so we can seat you somewhere that has plenty of elbow room for everyone!
What if I have arthritis/mobility issues in my hands?
We recommend you take plenty of breaks throughout the class and make sure to stay as relaxed as possible. Everyone will be reminded to shake out their hands during a little planned break too. We do also supply soft aids, that can slide onto the pens if anyone requires help with their grip

This was a great introduction workshop. Highly recommend. Rhian is patient, approachable and friendly. She had prepared our learning packs in advance and even written our names in Calligraphy on the envelopes. She allowed us space to work on our own but also explained everything well snd was there to answer any questions. Thank you Rhian. I will definitely try out your other courses!

We had such a great time. Rhian was so accommodating and so helpful.
We have never attempted to do calligraphy before, but after attending Rhian's class, we're going to do some of our own wedding stationary with the skills we've learnt!

A really enjoyable class. Rhian was very clear with her instruction, and the work pack was lovely. I left the venue excited to start my own project.

I attended a kind calligraphy class . It was fun and informative. Rhian was a fine teacher and I came away inspired to learn more.
Heather Short - 12 July 2023
Great fun! Lots of helpful advice and great handouts. I felt I'd achieved lots by the end of the two hours and am keen to attend another class - though I might take a cocktail with me next time!

Loved it! Went with friends for my birthday, and although I was terrible at it (through no fault of the instruction), we had a great time! Lots of help on hand and guidance, excellent resources and Rhian is a brilliant instructor. Would thoroughly recommend if you're up for learning a new skill in a relaxed, friendly environment.

I really enjoyed this class! It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon with a few friends. Rhian helped us understand the best ways to use the pens and improve our skills! Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in learning calligraphy/ have a wedding coming up or just enjoys learning new things !

I absolutely loved the introduction to modern calligraphy class. It was informative, relaxing and great fun. We were all provided with our own packs to go at our own pace and resources to take home and practice.

A great 2 hour session as a first introduction to Calligraphy!
The packs we used were easy to follow and it was good to get a feel for 2 different examples of calligraphy pens and styles. Rhian was a great teacher and very patient giving loads of helpful tips ☺️ I went specifically to get a bit of practice ahead of writing wedding name cards and I'm feeling much more confident, thank you Kind Calligraphy!
