CLAS festival
“I enjoyed being away and having a whole week to dedicate to calligraphy and lettering. A real treat. I love the format of a whole week; you get to meet new people and there is time to get to know them.”
“I have greatly enjoyed this experience, especially the total immersion in the subjects presented. Both challenging and inspiring, and a feeling of fulfilment when the end goal is reached. Thank you for a wonderful week!”
“I greet CLAS Festivals with eager anticipation. At its heart is the opportunity to receive high-quality teaching from superb national and international tutors. The chance to engage with fellow calligraphers, discuss work over meals, view inspiring displays, and explore retail opportunities creates a vibrant, exciting atmosphere. Every year at the end of the week, I come back energised and inspired, with renewed direction for my work.”
“What a fantastic week of immersing myself in calligraphy along with convivial company, brilliant tutors and great facilities. The CLAS Festival is not something to miss – every year another bunch of wonderful tutors in a creative and supportive environment.”
