Schools
Imagine a classroom where every student is fully engaged and excited to learn a new skill, with even the most reluctant writers eager to give it a try. In an age where screen time dominates, there’s something truly special about going back to basics—picking up a pen and learning to use it in a creative and exciting way.
Schools I’ve worked with have been impressed by how a calligraphy workshop can enhance students’ creativity and boost their confidence, while also offering significant mental health benefits. It provides a calming, mindful activity that helps reduce stress, improve focus, and promote overall well-being.
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 pure joy of it, yet there are so many other 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 am 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!
