About the event

Creating Fun and Expressive Letterforms with Non-Conformist Calligraphy Tools

Exploring the world of calligraphy can be an exciting journey, especially when you use unconventional tools to create unique letterforms. Here’s a guide to help you get started with making your own tools and expressing your creativity.

1. Understanding Expressive Calligraphy

Non-conformist calligraphy embraces creativity and individuality. It allows artists to break away from traditional styles and experiment with various forms and techniques.

2. Tools You Can Make

  • Brushes: Use old paintbrushes, toothbrushes, or even natural materials like twigs to create different stroke styles.

  • Pens: Modify everyday items such as chopsticks, feathers, or even straws to create unique pen tips.

  • Ruling/ Cola Pens : We will make a cola pen during the workshop, a unique way to make grunge calligraphy.


3. Techniques for Expressive Letterforms

  • Pressure Variation: Play with the pressure applied while writing to create thick and thin lines.

  • Angle Adjustments: Change the angle of your tool to produce different effects and styles.

  • Layering: Combine different colors or styles by layering your strokes.

  • Incorporating Patterns: Add patterns or textures within your letters for added visual interest.


4. Enjoying the Process

Remember, the key to non-conformist calligraphy is to enjoy the process. Allow yourself to experiment, make mistakes, and discover your unique style. Here are some tips:

  • Set aside regular time for practice.

  • Keep a sketchbook to jot down ideas and techniques.

  • Share your work with others for feedback and inspiration.


Course Project : Creating expressive letterforms with non-conformist calligraphy tools is a fun and liberating experience. By making your own tools and experimenting with different techniques, you can develop a style that is uniquely yours. Enjoy the journey of self-expression!
