But honestly, I’m happy to try my ink on just about any surface brave enough to take it. So, throw your wildest ideas at me, and let's make something memorable.

Learn with me

In my beginner classes, we dive into the essentials of modern calligraphy, from maintaining your tools to transforming those spaghetti-like strokes into art.

A space in my class gets you 2.5 hours of calligraphy instruction, as well as a workshop kit with everything you need on the day, and to continue practicing at home.

Enjoy personalised support, warm drinks and sweet treats in a range of cosy Worcestershire venues.
