LUXURY CALLIGRAPHY IN THE HEART OF LONDON

Katie is a wonderful teacher: attentive, caring, patient and encouraging. After a short introduction, she explains and demonstrates everything from positioning the paper to holding and using a dip pen. She circulates the room taking more than sufficient time for individual coaching and providing great tips, feedback and advice. The 2-hour course is very instructive and well paced, we were allowed to stay after the session if we had specific questions or requests. She is also a fantastic host giving everyone a warm welcome, offering drinks and cake. The venue itself is impressive and she thought about everything including beautiful stationery, perfect lighting and gentle background music. The organisation is very professional with further information about the course after online registration and a follow-up email after class with more tips about materials for those who would like to further practise. I would like to thank Katie and the entire London Calligraphy team for this amazing experience.

Really enjoyable - the room was set up really nicely and there was cake and refreshments served throughout. Katie was an excellent and interactive teacher, and we each got our own calligraphy set to take home Overall it was an educational yet relaxing experience!

Outstanding London Calligraphy Class Approaching the location of the London Calligraphy Class for Improvers was calming as it was set in the Art Worker's Guild on leafy Queen's Square in Bloomsbury. This beautifully restored Georgian building provided a spacious room with tall sash windows overlooking the square. Katie is the founder of London Calligraphy, with clients including royalty. The two hour class included a high quality printed booklet, practice sheets, stationery, ink (including gold powder ink), an oblique pen holder and a nib (all to take home), as well as a croissant and beverage. Katie tailored the class to each person's goals, and spoke to each student as we worked, pointing out ways to improve our writing. I enjoyed learning how to make place cards and centre names. The finale was showing us how simple it is to prepare powdered ink and using a brush to apply it to the nib. The stunning effects on black card was a triumphant finish to the class. Katie is calm, friendly and professional. I benefitted greatly from this excellent and affordable class, and I hope to attend her future classes.

Had a lovely time on the beginners course, Katie was an excellent teacher and very patient with us. I felt very looked after, with refreshments being offered and the whole experience was an enjoyable, relaxing time. The Art Workers Guild is also an amazing setting, highly recommend.

Both the online session and the in-person session I attended were incredible, I felt supported every step of the way. I would highly recommend visiting Katie in person, she is a delight (I was slightly late and didn't get a telling off!). Katie made sure to give individual pointers as she circulated the room and even allowed us to stay after the session if we had more specific requests that we wanted demonstrated. While the online session was great and you still got to hold your paper up to the screen, it's not quite the same as having Katie's writing on your page and being able to do a side by side comparison. With the online session, I enjoyed unboxing the beautiful packaging but with the in-person session, the entire experience was beautiful. If reading this short paragraph alone has not made it obvious, I am a big fan.

Such a good introduction into Calligraphy. Katie has so much patience and offers the 1:1 help that is required. I learnt a lot and will keep practicing.

Absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend, loved every part of the class.

Katie is patient and thorough. I recommend very highly. She tailors the class to all levels. All round superstar and considerate teacher. I lead androgigical programs and can tell you adult education is a ed psych skill that is hard to master. Katie mastered it. I loved her class. Thanks Katie!

Katie was such an amazing instructor. So nice, pleasant and patient. I highly recommend this class, and I look forward to taking another one to improve my skills.

Wonderful, engaging teacher (Katie) made for truly detached two hours - great therapy, not to mention learning something beautiful. Thoroughly recommend.
