Informal social for pen and ink enthusiasts, from calligraphers and hand-lettering fans to beginners, to practice and share techniques.
The Birmingham Sunday Ink and Lettering Social is back at 154 Kitsland Rd on Sunday 22 November, starting at 20:00. It's an informal gathering for anyone who enjoys working with pen and ink, and the description makes it clear who it's for: seasoned calligraphers, hand-lettering enthusiasts, and people just starting to explore the craft. If you've got a fondness for ink on paper, you'll fit in regardless of where you are with it.
The whole point is to have a quiet space to focus on your own projects while in the company of others who share the interest. There's plenty of table space to spread out your materials, and the social side comes from the gaps in between — chatting about techniques, favourite papers, or whatever you're working on. It's a low-pressure way to get some focused time in without having to clear the kitchen table at home.
There's no formal instruction or agenda here. You bring your own supplies, and the evening is simply a chance to step away from the weekend busyness and spend a few hours practising strokes. If you're a beginner, you'll find people around you who've been doing this for years; if you're experienced, it's a place to just put in the hours without the distraction of a screen. It's as much about the company as the ink.
