In this workshop we create colourful letter designs that are perfect on their own or can be used as a decorative letter as part of a larger calligraphic piece. We design our own letters, exploring mono-line and broad-pen letter variations. Next, we provide our letters with a colourful background using watercolours. Our colour palette is inspired by wildflowers and flowers from our own garden.
The workshop offers an opportunity to develop confidence in letter design & designing decorative backgrounds, colour mixing & matching, and selecting colours that work well together, all in a fun way.
