Learn the beautiful and traditional craft of Modern Calligraphy with a festive twist! Join us at RHS Garden Hyde Hall, where you will be taken through a two-hour dip pen session with Helen Wallace from ‘Wallace Lettering’.

Learn everything from mark making to letter formation and numbers while building your own unique hand lettering style. Great for beginners, those wanting to improve their style and flair, as well as both right and left-handed people.
 
Continue practising at home with a calligraphy starter kit, which will be yours to take away, including a pen holder, nib, ink and worksheet.

All materials and a calligraphy starter kit are included.
