I was astounded by the sheer professionalism of Katie and her entire team in planning such a fascinating, enjoyable and relaxing experience. I am a beginner in the losest term and can hardly hold the pen, but from the onset, we were all made to feel welcome and ready for the next two hours with the maestro that Katie is. Everyone in attendance appreciated her empathy, compassion and masterful coaching style. Her proactive, hands-on approach to sharing her experience and knowledge when the situation warranted was also lovely. Katie was able to widen the participation and cater for different levels of experiences present and tried to push them to do more within individuals' capacity so that we all had a self-fulfilling experience. Katie shared her hints and tips to reach expertise in delivering unique and meaningful outputs. Finally, we left with a calligraphy pack to continue our newfound adventure. If you are thinking about doing this course, do it, you will not regret it.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable (and calming) experience at the calligraphy workshop. Katie was a fantastic instructor and host, and we managed to learn the fundamentals of modern calligraphy amid beautiful surroundings.

Absolutely lovely experience from start to finish. Loved hearing Katie’s ‘story’ and how she became interested in calligraphy. A wonderful morning spent in beautiful surroundings with a very talented teacher. Highly recommended. Treat yourself!

I was delighted to receive this calligraphy course as a gift. The session was as therapeutic as it was engaging, and Katie was an excellent teacher. I had never picked up a calligraphy pen before, but was writing whole words with flourishes by the end. The room was very grand, and Katie provided refreshments, which was lovely. After the course, we were allowed to keep the pen, nib, guidelines and workbook to practise our skills at home - I would be interested in joining the improvers course in future. Thank you to the team for such a splendid evening and for introducing me to a new hobby! My friends and family will be receiving hand-written correspondence from now on…

Took the Calligraphy beginners course at Burgh House and it was a memorable and wonderful experience - the take away kit helps me to practice at home and feels like a beautiful meditation am definitely taking the next course in March. Grateful and full of gratitude 🙏 Karen Eyo

What a wonderful evening spent in the company of a master, Katie. Thank you so much for the experience, I will continue to practice and look to book myself onto the improvers workshop very soon.

I loved this course! It was only a few hours but it taught me the basics as well as a little one-to-one help from Katie to get me going. It provides all the equipment needed in order to get started on calligraphy as a hobby, and I met some nice people on the course too. The Artist Guild is a beautiful venue and we were made to feel very welcome with a cake, endless cups of tea brought to us and even a cut rose on our place setting which we could take away with me. I only wish there were longer courses as I would really enjoy making friends at the same time!

We had such a wonderful private lesson with Katie from London Calligraphy. As a small team of 7, I was looking for something interesting, festive and intimate for our Christmas party and this really was the perfect thing! Katie was brilliant, she supplied lovely writing packs, displayed everyone's names beautifully, taught a wonderful class and we even got a goodie bag when we left. Thank you for being so patient Katie! Would love to book this again, Georgie
