--------------------------------------

Each time the occasion calls for class and refinement, my first thought is to reach for the Pointed Pen. Truly, there's really nothing that comes quite close to the romance of beautiful, flowing script written with it!

You might be feeling mystified by the odd-looking writing instruments and the unusual way that the pen is applied to paper.

Or you have an urge to fill up blank spaces with lines of beautiful, flowing script, but feel lost because you've always been embarrassed about your own handwriting.

Here's where I can help! At this introductory workshop, where we learn the fundamentals of Pointed Pen Calligraphy applied in a modern context, we will work together to clear up the mystery surrounding the Pointed Pen and all its persnickety ways. When we are through, I'm certain that you'll have enough confidence to get off to a great start!

Reviews of Classes by TYPE + Sundry | Calligraphy & Watercolour



Very detail

Ambient comfortable with some refreshment ready. Brenda pointed out the key of skills and make me easy to remember them. I learnt a lot that day. Thank u Brenda !


Good experience

Quite a good course, but disappointed that the course was not completed, not sure was it due to course duration not well plan or the course did not start on time. Is there any possibility to join another class to go thru the project portion?


Great Introduction

Got this course for my partner and she enjoyed it. Had great words about the lecturer and what was taught within the 3hrs period. Location where the class was conducted was decent. Would definitely come back for other types of calligraphy modules.


Fantastic trainer and great environment

Trainer was friendly, saw to everyone's needs, patient


Cozy environment, great experience!

I have no experience with modern calligraphy. I like the conducive learning environment and the pace set for a beginner. I am quite satisfied with the final project.
