The Fine Art of Calligraphy

Two successive sessions with a break in between

“Calligraphy” means “beautiful writing”. It is regarded as a spiritual discipline.

The practices of resting the attention where the tip of the pen meets the writing surface, and being in the present moment, are essential.

This course shows not only the beauty of letters and the spatial relationship of letters and words, but also of the stillness available during practice.

This practical course starts with the ‘Foundational Hand’, also called ‘Round Hand’, with a dip-inkpen and teaches the skill of lettering.

Starts 9 October 2010, 9.30am – 10.45am & 11.15am – 12.30pm
