The Graphic Quill

Learning calligraphy and lettering with all it's associated arts is exciting and can become a lifelong adventure, it certainly has for me. As with every art, craft or skill, calligraphy requires patience and practice. This practice brings great rewards. The art of calligraphy is a beautifully rewarding challenge.

A great part of my passion for calligraphy is the continuous learning.

Lauchean's calligraphy classes are for all levels and offer so much more than just the basics of writing. Learn via of the traditions of the art from a contemporary perspective within a working studio environment. Traditional skills and techniques provide a fertile ground for today's modern lettering which is continually evolving.

Those students with some experience will fine tune their lettering. Learn how to use the tools and materials and put them into practice to create layouts that have impact.

A great part of my passion for calligraphy is the continuous learning. My aim is to share this passion with all my students.
