Christmas Calligraphy Workshop at Dean Clough

1pm – 3.30pm

In a small friendly group we will explore creative ways use calligraphy to create Christmas cards, address and embellish festive envelopes and personalise gift tags.

We will experiment with white and gold inks on colour card and look for simple, yet effective ways to add some sparkle to our calligraphy work.

You will find plenty of inspiration and motivation to delight your friends and family with beautiful personalised gifts.

Spaces are limited to just ten so book your spot early!
