Had an amazing time at the beginners class. Lovely venue (+ tea and cake), great materials and above all, great tips from Katie. I would definitely recommend!

I really enjoyed this class. Super laid back in a great venue (Wilton's Music Hall), and of course Katie is both knowledgeable and very patient! I'll definitely be back for an improvers class, as I left the beginners class both inspired and motivated to continue practicing! More...

Fantastic workshop, exceeded my expectation. In 2 hours we managed to cover a lot and I am definitely going to practice at home and try to do a follow up class later.

A fantastic workshop. Katie is a superb creative and has an amazing teach style. When you walk into the room there is an immediate wow factor. After a little intro and learning about the materials (all provided). It's right down to practicing with individual guidance and tuition. You are writing words by the end of the class. Loved every minute. Will be back for more. Its the little details that make this workshop fantastic More...

Definitely recommend this beginner's course with Katie. She was a lovely teacher and there was no pressure at all. You worked at your own speed and she came round with tips when anyone struggled with any of the letters. The time just flew by.

A fantastic class that I couldn't recommend more! Katie is a wonderful teacher and the setting (from location to class size) was perfect. We learned the basics of modern calligraphy and had enough time to practise everything, so you can easily take your calligraphy skills to the next level at home. I loved every bit of this class and really appreciate not only Katie's teaching style, but also the attention to detail that she put into the class and the preparation (a calligraphy pen and ink for every student, a handwritten card with our names on it, a rose on each desk, etc.). I highly recommend this class to everyone who wants to learn calligraphy. More...

Katie's Beginners Workshop was brilliant. It is perfect for anybody who wants to learn from scratch how to write beautiful Calligraphy. The classes are small, friendly and relaxed, with lots of one-to-one tuition from Katie. A really well put together, instructive and fun class. More...

Fantastic experience trying calligraphy for the first time! Katie was very patient and knowledgable and had a lot to share. I'm encouraged to keep dabbling with calligraphy, even though I'm no where near good! The venue was absolutely beautiful and really added to the atmosphere. Absolutely loved doing this on a weekday evening after work and found the practice quite relaxing - highly recommend it, the whole workshop is curated with a lot of attention and love and that's what makes it so special.

I went with a friend, and we had a fantastic time at Wilton's Music Hall. The building itself is quirky and interesting, the cafe (which we weren't able to try) looked nice, and the course (run by Katie) was brilliant. She went at a perfect pace, dealt with the faster and slower members of the group and we learned a lot. The time flew by, we were well looked after (drinks and cake!), and the equipment we used (and got to keep) seems really good. We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and I am definitely going to try to keep it up. I would thoroughly recommend it More...

My friend and I attended the beginners workshop held at Burgh House in Hampstead. We had a lovely afternoon. Katie was really helpful and made us feel very welcome. The location was great and she had created a lovely atmosphere with tea & cake, background music and personalised materials to take home after the workshop.

I joined the beginner's lesson and it was a very interesting and useful lesson. Katie showed me lots of good tips and demonstrations.

The Modern Calligraphy private tuition class is a fantastic experience which was a birthday present from family. The venue was a relaxed, quiet cafe and Katie laid the table out beautifully providing delicious snacks as well as the calligraphy materials. Katie's tuition was first class, discussing what I wanted to achieve from the session and how we would go about it. She provided 2 booklets of excellent exemplars to copy from, with different letter designs. It was a highly enjoyable 2 hours and I learnt a lot. All the materials and equipment provided can be taken away at the end of the class to practise further at home. Katie is very likeable, artistic and talented and I would definitely recommend this class. More...

I absolutely love the workshops provided by London Calligraphy. Katie, who runs it, is always patient and helpful, she provides a great pack of useful information, plus you get to take away the paper, the writing or brush utensils and ink away! It's absolutely ideal for beginners! The workshops are always held in charming locations (I was in Wilton's Music Hall and Saucer and Spritz). The are small classes, so everyone gets some 1-in-1 attention, with drinks and delicious snacks provided. Katie also provides for those with dietary requirements. The classes are instructive, relaxing and once you've warmed up, it's just long enough to see how you're improving and makes you eager to go home and practise. I've taken 2 of London Calligraphy workshops (the pointed pen one and the brush one) and look forward to doing more in the future. I'm so glad its enabled my to have such a fulfilling hobby! I cannot recommend this more More...

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Katie was a fantastic instructor and extremely hospitable as well. We were treated to not only a wonderfully quirky environment but also little treats throughout our time in her class as well as items to take back with us. It was a relaxed atmosphere and was nicely paced. Katie also didn't rush us through anything and gave us all personal attention throughout her class. Once I have practiced more it will be the improver workshop for me which I am looking forward too! I still have a big smile on my face when I remember that afternoon and would highly recommend anyone to book a class with Katie. More...

There's a saying those that can, can't teach and those that can't make the best teachers. However, Katie's an exception to this rule as not only is she excellent at her craft but equally is an excellent tutor. She's extremely patient and at the same time really encouraged me. Really great way to spean two hours after being at work all day! Would highly recommend London Calligraphy. More...

This 2 hour evening Caligraphy session was a Birthday present from my daughters and Son-In-Laws as they knew I had a 'hankering' to learn calligraphy. I have to say that when I realised it was just for 2 hours I wasn't that hopeful of learning much and thought it would simply be a taster session. HOWEVER, I was wowed by the entire evening. Not only did Katie provide us with a brilliant starter kit, she also gave expert knowledge and guidance on how to use the 'tools. There was the added benefit of Prosecco and a little gift we each we received that I won't spoil for others by saying what it was. I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and came away having written the entire alphabet and some words and, very helpfully, everything I need to enable me to continue to practice at home.I will definitely want to attend an Improvers Group.Thank you Katie for a brilliant evening and your very interesting conversation. Also, thanks to Amy for arranging and providing the venue.Kindest regardsCarolyn xx More...
