A Little Letter. A Lot of Pretty.

One letter. A glass pen. A glorious little puddle of colour. And absolutely no intention of being restrained about the flowers.

Welcome to Floral Glass Pen Monograms, a class devoted to making letters that bloom.

We'll begin with the magic of the glass pen, learning how to use this beautiful tool to create expressive marks, delicate details and wonderfully fluid lines.

Then we'll add colour.

And flowers.

And leaves.

And perhaps another flower because apparently we have no self-control.

The result?

A lush, colourful monogram that feels somewhere between calligraphy, illustration and a tiny piece of botanical art.

The letter is only the beginning. You'll learn how to take a simple initial and build a composition around it, adding floral elements, movement and colour without losing the letter at the centre of it all.

Play with colour combinations.

Experiment with the wonderfully unpredictable character of a glass pen.

Discover how tiny botanical details can completely transform a letter. And create something that is unmistakably yours.

Make your own initial.

Make one for someone you love.

Turn it into a card, a gift, a place card, a framed piece or the beginning of an entire alphabet if you happen to get a little carried away. We would understand.

You do not need to be a botanical illustrator.

Your flowers do not need Latin names.

They don't even necessarily need to exist in nature.

This is about playing with shape, colour and line and discovering just how much personality you can fit around a single letter.

Pretty is allowed.

Actually, pretty is rather the point.

Come spend a few hours surrounded by ink, flowers and colour and leave with a monogram that looks like spring decided to learn calligraphy.

Because sometimes one beautiful letter is quite enough.

Although we're making no promises you'll stop at one.
