Calligraphy Courses

The CLAS List

As a student of calligraphy you are assured of a good standard of calligraphy for courses taught by a tutor from the Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Society Approved Courses and Registered Courses. You will find details of those who teach calligraphy classes on a regular or intermittent basis when you click on one of the lists below. This is, though, not a nationwide list because there are simply not that many calligraphy courses being taught. 

Calligraphy Courses on the CLAS List mainly prepare students for CLAS graded levels of qualification the Certificate of Calligraphy and the National Diploma in Calligraphy at the three levels of Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced.

The CLAS Certificate of Calligraphy is the entry level of accreditation. 

The CLAS National Diploma in Calligraphy takes a longer time of preparation and usually students are ready to enter at Foundation level with approximately two years of part-time study after they have started learning calligraphy. Intermediate level takes about two years of preparation after that and Advanced may take two years or more after that. 

Courses listed in the first section of Calligraphy Courses: The CLAS List are taught by those who are of a sufficient or excellent standard of calligraphy and who are experienced teachers. These are:

• CLAS Accredited Tutors, who have had their teaching and calligraphic ability approved and assessed
• CLAS Honoured Fellows, whose teaching and calligraphic ability has been publicly recognised

Courses in the second section of Calligraphy Courses: The CLAS List are taught by those who generally have a good or sufficient standard of calligraphy, but have not had their teaching ability recognised or assessed. These are:

• CLAS Fellows
• Holders of the National Diploma in Calligraphy at Advanced level
• Holders of the National Diploma in Calligraphy at Intermediate level
• Tutors who have had their calligraphy, outline of lessons for a year, and handouts assessed
