Introduction to Modern Calligraphy 

Katie Johnson

A great 2 hour session as a first introduction to Calligraphy!

The packs we used were easy to follow and it was good to get a feel for 2 different examples of calligraphy pens and styles. Rhian was a great teacher and very patient giving loads of helpful tips ☺️ I went specifically to get a bit of practice ahead of writing wedding name cards and I'm feeling much more confident, thank you Kind Calligraphy!

Sarah Wyatt

Really enjoyed the afternoon learning calligraphy, also found it very relaxing will definitely try out another class 

Laura Wallace

I absolutely loved the introduction to modern calligraphy class. It was informative, relaxing and great fun. We were all provided with our own packs to go at our own pace and resources to take home and practice.

Laura Elkins

I really enjoyed this class! It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon with a few friends. Rhian helped us understand the best ways to use the pens and improve our skills! Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in learning calligraphy/ have a wedding coming up or just enjoys learning new things ! 

Charlotte Hughes

Loved it! Went with friends for my birthday, and although I was terrible at it (through no fault of the instruction), we had a great time! Lots of help on hand and guidance, excellent resources and Rhian is a brilliant instructor. Would thoroughly recommend if you're up for learning a new skill in a relaxed, friendly environment. 

Heather Short

Great fun! Lots of helpful advice and great handouts. I felt I'd achieved lots by the end of the two hours and am keen to attend another class - though I might take a cocktail with me next time!

Pauline Cunningham

I attended a kind calligraphy class  . It was fun and informative.  Rhian was a fine teacher and I came away inspired to learn more.

Jean Higgins

A really enjoyable class.  Rhian was very clear with her instruction, and the work pack was lovely.  I left the venue excited to start my own  project.

Laura Keepence

We had such a great time. Rhian was so accommodating and so helpful. 
We have never attempted to do calligraphy before, but after attending Rhian's class, we're going to do some of our own wedding stationary with the skills we've learnt! 

Tracey Brown

This was a great introduction workshop.  Highly recommend. Rhian is patient, approachable and friendly. She had prepared our learning packs in advance and even written our names in Calligraphy on the envelopes. She allowed us space to work on our own but also explained everything well snd was there to answer any questions. Thank you Rhian. I will definitely try out your other courses!

Introduction to Modern Calligraphy - Christmas Card Making

Angela Vick

We really enjoyed our afternoon of calligraphy Christmas cards. The samples provided were inspiring and there were plenty of different pens and cards. I did find that the lighting in The Alchemist made focussing on the calligraphy hard on the eyes and another participant made the same comment (the lighting was bright so there wasn’t a problem seeing it was the quality of the light that was uncomfortable). It was a fun afternoon however we shan’t be embarking on a career in calligraphy 🤣

Raechelle

I absolutely loved this class - it was so fun, informative and I loved coming away with lots of Christmas designs. Felt so creative

Vicki  Dymott 

I enjoyed the class but struggled with adapting my hand writing.
I will practice using the worksheets provided as I'm sure it will improve.
It was a well organised class.

Megan Tobin

I attended the Christmas Card Calligraphy workshop and it was everything and more than I expected! So professionally done but such a cute and relaxed vibe. Rhian made everything so special with extra touches like chocolates on the table and the lovely set up!  I loved it so much I brought my own cards and pens to continue making my own, using the take away sheets which shows us exactly how to write the different letters. Would 100% recommend and will definitely book onto another one of the events in the future :) 

Gemma Dixon

Nice venue to hold the class in but found the class pretty underwhelming. I don’t believe in any of the advent when I booked that it was ‘cheats’ calligraphy, I imagined we get given a proper pen and learn how to do it but instead we wrote it out in fine tip pen and coloured in! Not what i expected. The lady running the course was very nice though.  

Alison Morton

Very well prepared calligraphy session. Lovely and knowledgeable teacher

Laura Wainwright

Fab calligraphy session, Rhian is fantastic and explains everything really well. Her enthusiasm makes the classes fun too 😁

Katie Rich

Modern Calligraphy Halloween Special

Zoe Bird

Amazing! Had the best time with Rhian! She's helpful, super friendly, clearly passionate about what she does and took the time to explain things when we had any questions. We left with the best piece of artwork made by ourselves to keep forever. The venue was great, and was light enough to see what we were doing. Can't wait for the next one! Thanks so much! 

Sophie Jago

Massively enjoyed the Halloween special event and was surprisingly happy with my work at the end as I was worried I couldn't do it. The learning was great though, and loved the decorations and pack of goodies included!

Thank you for your understanding,
KIND Calligraphy founder, Rhian 

Public and private, modern calligraphy classes.

Kind Calligraphy

KIND Calligraphy is run by its founder, me, Rhian. 
Starting from changing my handwriting, every week in school. Trying new ways to do letters, slanted, cursive. Any and every style I could think of. Following my love of all things creative, I ventured into college to complete the BTEC Art & Design course at South Downs College, where I aced in all it offered. 
Now you’ll find me either teaching workshops for KIND Calligraphy, or at a local venue, writing on all their walls and boards with my beloved Posca pens! 
I create bespoke gifts from pet portraits and murals, to gift tickets for customers to give instead of a boring confirmation email. 
Most days, you can book on to paint with me at most of the Paint Chill Co events, around Portsmouth and Southsea, where il teach you step-by-step painting, created and designed by their founder, and the occasional one painted by myself! There I’ll share all the techniques to painting with acrylics and letting yourself chill out for a moment. 
Overall, I enjoy getting others to take a moment out of busy life, to create something new, different and KIND to the mind.
Hope to see you all soo!
