Workshop FAQ

Q1) I am a complete beginner, which workshop should I join?

First decide which type of calligraphy you would like to learn:

1. Dip Pen are pens you dip in ink, they don't have any ink stored in them, and the nib needs to be dipped every few words or lines of drawing.
2. Brush Pen can be a felt-tip marker with a flexible pointed tip, or an actual paintbrush with bristles. They are convenient to use, beginner friendly and come in a variety of colours. 
3. The tools are different - for dip pen, we will use a stiff metal nib that requires a  stronger pressure when writing. For brush pen, we will use a soft, flexible brush pen to write that requires a lighter touch. 
4. I also offer watercolour workshops if you wish to learn to paint.
