DISCOVER THE ART OF MODERN CALLIGRAPHY
IN A RELAXED, INSPIRING SETTING
There’s something timeless about the beauty of ink flowing across paper. My calligraphy workshops are designed to help you slow down, create with intention, and experience the joy of hand lettering. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone looking to refine their skills, these sessions are warm, welcoming, and filled with thoughtful guidance.
"...IT WAS SUCH A SPECIAL TREAT...'
"I attended Clare’s calligraphy workshop today, and from start to finish it was such an amazing treat. Clare is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her craft, and you will be too by the end of it. The instruction is easy to follow and super satisfying. Would recommend to all ages and abilities!"

CALLIGRAPHY KITS
If you’d love to explore calligraphy at your own pace, I’ve created beautifully curated starter kits you can enjoy from the comfort of home. Each kit includes a dip pen, nib, ink, and practice sheets — the same essentials I use in my workshops — along with gentle guidance to help you begin your lettering journey.
Perfect as a thoughtful gift or a creative treat for yourself, these kits make it easy to slow down, create something beautiful, and discover the joy of calligraphy wherever you are.
