Description

This two-hour online workshop is a gentle introduction to writing with a pointed calligraphy pen. It’s perfect if you’re curious about pointed-nib calligraphy and would like to try it before committing to a longer course.

During the session, you’ll receive clear, step-by-step guidance and live support as you begin practicing your first strokes. We’ll start with the foundational shapes and basic pressure strokes that form the basis of pointed-nib lettering, learning how to create the characteristic thin upstrokes and thicker downstrokes that give this style its elegance.

You’ll also explore:

  • How to hold and control a pointed nib pen

  • How pressure and release create contrast in your lines

  • Simple decorative strokes and flourishes

  • Tips for smooth ink flow and good practice habits

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of pointed-nib writing and a set of exercises you can continue practicing on your own.

No prior calligraphy experience is needed—beginners are very welcome.
