Virtual Calligraphy Workshop: Spring

About

Join Jane Austen's House and inspiring calligraphy teacher Laura Edralin for a gentle and creative online workshop introducing you to the joys of mindful calligraphy – developed especially to support mental wellbeing and leave you with the skills to continue your practice in your own time.

Together, you'll spend a quiet evening exploring spring-themes and floral details, building your skills and discovering a new hobby!

What do you need? Bring along a pencil, ballpoint pen or brush pen and some sheets of paper. You will aslsoe be sent a downloadable worksheet and bookmark template to print in advance.
