An Introduction to Modern Pointed Nib Calligraphy

Join me, Larissa – founder of The Crafters Gym, for a cosy festive morning of creativity. I’ve been practising modern calligraphy for over 7 years, using it for mindful evenings, gifting, bespoke commissions and live events – including personalising fragrances for Jo Malone.

In this workshop, you'll be introduced to pointed nib calligraphy – a beautiful, modern take on traditional lettering. Using nib and ink, you’ll learn how applying different levels of pressure creates elegant thin and thick strokes, forming the foundations of stylish hand-lettering.

Together, we’ll explore how to:

• Hold and use a pointed nib with confidence

• Build letterforms step by step

• Add festive flourishes and detail to your writing
