Join Phylecia Sutherland for a 3-hour Introduction to Modern Calligraphy. Designed for beginners, it's a perfect place to start. She will go through your tools, basic strokes and drills, move onto letterforms, words and sentences and even teach a few tricks making this a bit deeper than many beginner's courses.

You'll get to carry home the materials you use in the class which includes a workbook of exercises and a starter kit (pen, nib and ink pot) so you can keep practising on your new, pretty writing skills.

Phylecia will also have a few additional calligraphy items available to purchase on the day (card-only).

Making the People Powered Press' workshop Covid-safe

Although we’re launching this season of workshops at a time of uncertainty about future Covid-19 restrictions, we’re making sure that the workshop is designed and equipped to keep you safe and comfortable now, and in the event of any future developments.

So here’s what's being to make the People Powered Press a safe, creative place.

• Staff will be tested for Covid on the morning of the day on which any workshop will take place.
• All participants will be asked to take a Covid test before travelling to the workshop.
• The space will be well ventilated, using our in-built extraction system and an air purifier.
• We have sanitiser stations around the space and there are wipes for cleaning surfaces and shared equipment.
• Masks will be worn inside the building if and when official guidance indicates that they should.
• We will provide workspace dividers if and when official guidance indicates that we should.
• BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE: if your workshop has to be postponed, your ticket will still be valid for the rescheduled event. If you're not able to get to it, we will offer you a full refund.

We’ll regularly review all these measures against the latest government guidance, and we hope that this will reassure you that you’re in a comfortable, safe environment, and that we’re taking your safety very seriously indeed.
