Beginners Brush Lettering with Lyndsey Gribble
Course Details
Course Description
Perfect for anyone looking to explore and develop their creative side, this engaging workshop is led by Lyndsey of Wild Sea Calligraphy, offering a welcoming introduction to the art of brush lettering. A cream tea will be served during the break mid-afternoon.
During the session, you’ll learn the foundations of brush pen technique, starting with simple strokes and shapes before progressing to forming letters and building a full brush lettering alphabet. Lyndsey will guide you step by step, helping you understand pressure control, consistency, and flow, all essential for creating well formed, expressive lettering. You’ll also practice composing basic words, phrases, and quotes, allowing you to see how individual letters come together into finished pieces.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel confident creating your own hand-lettered designs, whether that’s meaningful quotes, personalised messages, or decorative words to share with others. This is a relaxed and supportive environment, suitable for complete beginners as well as those looking to refine their skills.
All materials are provided, and you’ll take home your own brush lettering kit, including a high-quality brush pen and helpful guide sheets, so you can continue practicing and developing your style long after the workshop ends.
