A WORD TO HOLD✍🏻🤍

This September, in honour of Self-Care Month, we’re offering a special Calligraphy workshop by The Pensive Desk that invites you to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the beauty of handwriting. This isn’t just about learning calligraphy—it’s about rediscovering the joy of expressing yourself through handwritten words, and finding a deeper connection with what truly matters to you🤍

• We’ll begin with a quiet moment of reflection, encouraging you to think about the values, feelings, or intentions that are most important to you right now. Whether it’s “balance,” “hope,” “courage,” or any other word that resonates deeply, this word will become the focus of your artistic journey.
• Once you’ve chosen your word, we’ll guide you through a series of exercises designed to help you unearth your own writing habits and gently reconnect with the tactile pleasure of handwriting. You’ll learn to use both pencils and brush pens, exploring how these tools can shape and convey your emotions through modern cursive lettering. We’ll also delve into the technical aspects, such as reading and analyzing cursive letters, and forming meaningful words and  phrases in lowercase modern cursive.
• Throughout the workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to make your word truly your own, adding artistic elements, colours, and personal touches that reflect your unique spirit.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away not just with a beautifully written word, but with a tangible reminder of what matters most to you—a piece of art that captures your self-care journey✨
