Explore one of the core alphabets in sign painting with signwriter and calligrapher Ellie Heywood.

You will learn how to draw classic block letters in pencil before filling the shapes with colour using a flat brush and minimal strokes. Leave with a finished piece to take home, along with new skills and techniques to continue practising sign painting.

This workshop will take place in Kitchen Tables, a space that celebrates our dining spaces as places of making.
