Modern Calligraphy with Dipping Pens

Short Workshops

Learn Modern Calligraphy (pointed dipping pens) with Robyn

Modern Calligraphy is an elegant and easy modern style of calligraphy using a pointed dipping pen (the scary looking pointy pen).. Perfect style for either right or left handed people, and MUCH easier than brush lettering.
Learn the ins and outs of how to mix your ink, how to keep your ink flowing, and which inks and papers to use for the best results.

In person and online workshops available, as well as workshop recordings. I very seldom host online workshops, so I would suggest getting the recording if you want to learn online (see below). Private workshops also available on request.

***N.B. For the ONLINE workshop you will need to have an oblique pen holder with a pointed nib, a pot of ink and the correct paper for this workshop.. These can be bought separately, or as a kit from the Calligraphy Joburg online shop ahead of time (please order in time for it to be delivered)

To book, please contact Robyn via whatsapp on 076 235 6563
