Join inspiring calligraphy teacher Laura Edralin for a creative and mindful afternoon workshop focusing on brush pen calligraphy, exploring spring-themes and floral details.

Inspired by Jane Austen’s own perfect penmanship, and by the beautiful surroundings of her Chawton home, we will step away from the busyness of everyday life and immerse ourselves in the beauty and tranquillity of the spring countryside.

Passionate about helping people calm their minds and find their creative flow, Laura will introduce you to a beautiful brush script, ideal for beginners and calligraphy enthusiasts alike.

The afternoon will begin with a gentle walk in Jane Austen’s garden, led by Laura, drawing our attention to the plants and flowers emerging from the winter ground and celebrating the arrival of spring. Back in the cosy Learning Centre, we’ll refuel with tea and cake before incorporating the botanical and floral imagery we have seen into a calm and mindful calligraphy session – developed especially to support mental wellbeing and leave you with the skills to take home and continue your practice.

You’ll finish the session with a hand-made calligraphy bookmark – worthy of any Austen novel!
