Cinque Ports Scribes run workshops on calligraphy and associated skills with a mix of internal and external tutors including some of the very best known calligraphers.
- Please note that bookings for our workshops are only accepted through completion of the appropriate booking form, available from our downloads page.
- Our workshops are open to members and non-members, with a two tiered pricing structure.
- First workshop with CPS? Here’s a Workshop Introduction to help you along
- In addition to workshop fees you should expect to obtain equipment for workshops as necessary. Occasionally CPS are able to buy in bulk and pass on savings this way
- Typically workshops are delivered in person, face to face, however due to the global pandemic, we are able to deliver some workshops via Zoom
If a workshop is listed as being FULL, we are happy to take names on a reserve list, so if you’re interested please let us know.
Photos of past events can be viewed in our gallery
Events organised by other calligraphy groups such as CLAS and SSI will be announced on our newsfeed.
Please could all workshop attendees arrive in plenty of time to help set up the hall, and stay behind to help clear up.
Refreshments are provided in all workshops, but please remember to bring your own lunch.
All workshops must be paid for in advance.
Cancellations: refunds are only available if we are able to fill your space. Sorry, but we still have to pay the tutor and venue.
Please also see notes on the booking form.
