Schools
Imagine a class totally engrossed and engaged in learning a new skill, where even the reluctant writers are happy to experiment and try something new?
In a world where children have so much screen time, getting back to basics by picking up a pen and learning how to use it in a different and exciting way is truly special. Schools I have worked with have been impressed with the difference a calligraphy workshop makes to children’s presentation skills.
I can tailor a school workshop package to your needs, be it an introductory afternoon to modern calligraphy for a couple of classes or a whole terms worth of weekly sessions. These packages really helps to immerse your young people in the wonderful world of calligraphy; to inspire and ignite their passion and see real progression and development of their skills.
Let’s get creative!
Calligraphy gives the chance to be creative for the sake of our own wellbeing, yet there are tangible benefits too, such as practicing fine motor skills with pressure control, improving handwriting and taking pride in work, experiencing repetition and improvement.
Calligraphy workshops are not just limited to the children either, why not book a taster workshop for a team-building activity on your next staff training day or parents well-being session? I am a qualified primary school teacher, having worked in schools in Northamptonshire for the past 18 years and on the DBS Update service.
I also love transforming spaces inside schools with lettering and artwork, bringing areas to life with colourful calligraphy, quotes and doodles. If you have an area you would like to me to work on, please get in touch with your ideas, I’d love to chat!
