Festive Calligraphy & Bauble Workshops in Devon and Cornwall
The season of sparkle and celebration is almost upon us — and this year, you’re invited to dive into the festive magic in a hands-on, creative way. I’m thrilled to announce my Festive Calligraphy / Bauble workshops, where you’ll learn modern calligraphy techniques and decorate your own personalised Christmas bauble to take home (or gift!).
Whether you're a complete beginner or already have some brush/pointed-pen experience, these sessions are designed to be warm, playful, and creatively inspiring - just the kind of festive treat we all need in December.
✨ What to Expect
Here’s what each workshop involves:
A guided introduction to modern calligraphy fundamentals (letterforms, strokes, spacing)
Practice on worksheets and tracing templates
Tips and tricks for writing on curved/round surfaces (so your bauble doesn’t look squashed!)
Choosing your design: names, festive words (“Joy”, “Noel”, “Merry & Bright”) or short phrases
Decorating and lettering your bauble(s) with pens, inks, metallics, or paints
Time to chat, sip tea or coffee, enjoy refreshments and soak in the festive vibes
By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with at least one hand-lettered bauble, ready to hang, gift, or treasure. And you’ll also receive a starter calligraphy kit (pen, nibs, ink, guide sheets) so you can carry on your lettering journey at home.
I believe that handmade touches bring so much more meaning at Christmas — and learning to letter a bauble is a joyful way to slow down, create, and celebrate with your hands.
