Calligraphy and Handwriting Workshops

 Come and join us for a Quillify Studio workshop. Workshops are available at different levels to suit your needs. Introductory workshops are designed for absolute beginners or self taught creatives after some tips and tricks. Intermediate sessions are for those wanting a little more and people wanting to move on from the basics. Each workshop, whatever the level will give you the tools and practical skills to take home and practise further. Just bring yourself and be prepared to have fun. The number of students in all of our workshops is kept small, which allows for more one-on-one time with the tutor. Now all you need to decide is which workshop suits you best.

Another benefit of these workshops is that you don't need to bring anything. Just yourself! Nothing is required for Quillify Studio workshops but if you would like to bring some of your own supplies then please feel free. You may have your own supplies, specific paper, pencils / ruler / eraser.

Handwriting workshops are suitable for everyone, whether your focus is to improve on your current style or you’d like to get a little more creative and master some new styles and lettering techniques. Different handwriting and lettering styles have increased in popularity for those wanting to add a personal touch to stationery, paper goods, wrapping materials and more.
