Workshops | The Marches Scribes

Our workshops

We run regular workshops around calligraphy but also bookbinding and other similar arts and crafts. Whatever level you are, whether you know your serif from your flourish, you’re welcome to join us

Over the years we have organised workshops on a number of topics, including bookbinding, making scrolls and little books, studied and practised many different calligraphy scripts, from cadels to flourished italic, copperplate to contemporary cnut. Other recent sessions have covered a wide range of topics like lettercutting in stone, writing on fabric, white on white, papermaking, gilding, textures and surfaces, layout and design, colour, ruling pens, maps and plans, pointed brushwork, layering with resist, and illumination
