Faux Calligraphy Tote Bag Beginners Workshop
Friday 25th October 2019 | 1.30pm – 3.30pm
Spend the afternoon learning the technique known as faux calligraphy and paint you own beautiful lettering onto your tote bag. Relax in our craft barn and be inspired by the beautiful surrounding views of Nottinghamshire’s rolling countryside.
Guided by our exceptionally talented tutor Nikki Whiston, you will begin with a lesson on faux calligraphy writing, using your paint pen on paper to practice the technique and wording. Once comfortable with lettering, you move onto your bag. Using chalk, you will make a transfer guide onto the material to get you started. Then using your new technique and template to paint your wordings onto the bag using a paint pen.
Below are the three wording templates to choose from:
Eat drink & be merry (can also change drink to dance)
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
Create your own Sunshine
