Course Information:

Calligraphy doesn’t have to be black ink on white paper – we can use colour to create an atmosphere, movement and emotion. This course will cover how to write various scripts and all manner of ways to use colour: in the writing, for backgrounds, in layers and for particular uses or occasions. Immerse yourself in the glory of wondrous colours in beautiful writing.
