Calligraphy Calling!

We love type, we love illustrating, we love crafting and we love going back to basics and exploring the roots of it all! So we were super excited to refresh our penmanship skills on a calligraphy workshop in London held by the lovely folk at Quill.

Here is a look into the day we had out of the studio….

We were given all the essential calligraphy materials and our newly acquired kit could be taken home with us so we could practice making beautiful shapes and strokes.

We then started to copy lower case and upper case alphabet before starting to develop our very own styles.

By the end we were well on our way to writing out our own captions and quotes in our personal free style of calligraphy - beautiful Lucy!

This was all accompanied by lovely cups of tea and pastries.
