Saturday 29 Feb + Sunday 01 March 2020: Attendee + Non- Course Attendee

If you have a friend/partner who perhaps doesn’t want to attend the Mindfulness & Brush-Lettering Course, but quite fancies a little break, if they share your room, use the spa, have dinner and breakfast, this is the ticket for you BOTH!

For you attending the course, by the end of the day you will understand what mindfulness is and have at least 3 mindful techniques to take away and use for those stressful moments.  You will learn and practice them throughout the day, know how to use Mindfulness Meditation (even for a few minutes in the car it can be done and provide huge mental wellbeing benefits). Be able to share your own experience and learn tailor made techniques to help you. Intertwined with Tony's sessions Lou will be helping you to use Tony's mindfulness techniques as well as teaching you the beautiful art of brush lettering. 

You will learn how to use pressure to your advantage while lettering and how to apply heavy pressure on downstrokes, and light pressure on upstrokes, also the importance to try for a clean transition between two weights. You will see how to change the thickness of heavy downstrokes to completely change up the style of your lettering and perhaps some flourishing and shadowing. Sound complex? Don’t worry, this course is very much aimed at beginners and youll get the hang of it and be sweeping and gliding in no time!
