Registration closing date : 24th October 2025
This is a one-day In person class
This is your chance to create great lettering with monoline tools: that beautiful glass
pen someone gave you that you haven’t known how to use; fineliners and bullet-tip
pens; as well as the round-tipped nib lurking in amongst all your other nibs.
No thicks and thins to worry about – just fun lettering, a little colour, and of course,
Christmas wouldn’t be complete without sparkle!
Suits all levels from beginners to advanced – anyone who wants to create their own
Christmas Cards.

MATERIALS LIST
To create a colourful background
A4 sheets of watercolour paper (e.g. Reeves medium 200 gsm A4 watercolour pad)
3 colours of acrylic ink of your choice (make sure they blend well together, e.g. blue, green, purple or pink, purple, blue or yellow, pink, red – not orange and green together)
I like to use a largish (6) mop-head brush, but a broad (12) flat brush would work
An A3 size piece of Masonite (available at Bunnings)
Masking tape
Water jars (several) & tissues
If you have none of these things, and no calligraphy experience but you still want to make a background, you can borrow mine.
If you do have some experience, you’ll find these things are very handy to have!
For the lettering:
Your choice of black monoline tools, or small rounded nib, straight holder & black ink. (I will have some rounded nibs with me)
Coloured pencils in the same colours as your acrylic ink
Gold ink or a gold gel pen
Glitter glue (I like the ‘crystal’ clear one – whatever brand)
A cheap 000 size brush for the glue
A pencil & eraser
A4 bleedproof pad
Remember to bring your lunch & something to drink.
