What a lovely evening! I am a novice to modern calligraphy and I enjoyed very much the 2-hour workshop at Pearl & Groove. Alice is such a delightful teacher who shares her passion and guides us through the basics in a very relaxed atmosphere. She takes time for everyone in the class and makes each of us feel very comfortable. The beautiful cakes from Pearl & Groove are certainly a delicious bonus to a great evening that flew by! Thank you Alice!

The workshop was brilliant. Alice was fun, encouraging and very patient. Amazing how much we covered in two hours. Really enjoyed it.

Obby had me at "Calligraphy, Cakes and Prosecco" and the evening itself more than lived up to expectations. Fun, challenging and creative way to spend an evening. The venue is super sweet (I'll be back for the cakes alone!) and Alice was such a delight and so helpful. Determined to pick up my nib and keep learning!

Excellent! Learned so much in 2 hours and in such a lovely environment :)

Lovely experience learning about Calligraphy and getting the tools to take home. Bonus points for the cake and Prosecco :)

I really enjoyed the Modern Calligraphy workshop. The tutor, Alice Gabb, was excellent and we learnt the basic principles within the two hour session. It was also nice to get a goody bag and a basic calligraphy kit to take home. The glass of Prosecco and delicious cake helped too! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to learn a new creative skill.

Great class! Really learnt a lot and received a lovely goody bag. not to mention a glass of Prosecco and a free cake in a beautiful venue.
Alice was fab - would love to do this again!

My first Obby & first calligraphy class. It was great fun, feel like I have learnt a new skill. Can’t wait to have a go at home! The venue is brill and Alice is lovely.

Really fab evening with Alice Gabb - she was so helpful and lovely. A great 2 hour crash course in modern calligraphy!
Alice - 10 November 2017
I could not have enjoyed myself more. Not only was Alice an experienced and professional guide, she also built a relaxed environment that meant we all had so much fun. I could not compliment this class more. I hope that she releases additional levels as I will be practising at home and can't wait to learn more!

Alice was brilliant! No stuffiness or pretentious air. She clearly genuinely loves calligraphy! Everything was explained clearly and we found Alice extremely approachable, patient and kind. She was also very prompt at replying to any emails I sent in the run up to the workshop. Thank you Alice!

It was amazing, had such a great, fun and wonderful time :)

I always wanted to learn calligraphy.! And Alice was perfect as a teacher. The fact that she was so patient and always leaning over your shoulder and trying to correct you when needed and giving you a few words of encouragement every now and then was amazing. The place and cakes were amazing!

I really enjoyed this calligraphy class. Alice was patient and informative, and the two hours just flew by! My only criticism is that although the cakes looked lovely, all varieties contained nuts so unfortunately I was unable to try one. Overall though a great class!

This is a perfect beginners course Alice was super nice, helpful and fun. 55 pounds isn't cheap, but I think it was worth it as we got to keep the material and it was very personal teaching as there were only 9 people per class. The almost bottomless Pimms and delicious cupcake were a nice extra!

Alice was so lovely and helpful! Really helped improved my technique for my future practice!

Fabulous workshop in a great venue. Alice was the most generous teacher with a great smile and enormous talent and Pearl and Groove was a welcoming and delicious place to be. Practice makes perfect though, so we also received a canvas bag of goodies.

Alice was thorough and patient. I would have liked to do more joint up writing so I could understand how the letter formations work in actual words as we predominantly focused on practising individual letters.But all in all - lovely atmosphere, with scrummy cake!
