Lingfield Scribes welcome new members to join our small friendly group.

We aim to share the skills and enjoyment of calligraphy with everyone.

In a highly complex technological world, learning to write with a sqare edged pen and ink is an exploration as you go from simple strokes to form the letters of a classical script.  A satisfying & inspiring feeling comes from learning a new skill.

Calligraphy equipment can be provided to beginners for the first Study sessions.

Complete beginners will be given guidance from members to enable them to practise calligraphy.

Workshops subjects cover classical scripts and contemporary variations. Contemporary approaches include creating pencil & brush lettering. Simple Heraldry will be added this year. Full descriptions of this year’s workshops are on the Programme page.
