Learn From Maria
“All big things come from small beginnings.The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision”. - James Clear
As a self taught calligraphy artist who went on to study with the wonderful Brahmin Lettering, The Bombay Lettering Company and Barbara Calzolari - Maria knows what it feels like to be a dreamer who has a passion for learning. As the eldest child and a vocal teacher Maria has a natural desire to nurture existing or draw out new abilities in others. To pass on the kindness that these three incredible women did for Maria - Maria wishes to pass on this knowledge to you.
Maria adores nurturing the minds of like minded creatives and finds joy in not only being a part of their journey but their growth beyond the class. Her in person calligraphy workshops take place in Scotland and are usually placed around Glasgow and Edinburgh. She also offers in person private classes for small groups based on request when contacted directly. Alongside this, you can also occasionally find Maria giving masterclasses at the SEC in Glasgow for both calligraphy and styling during busy exhibition periods. Come and join Maria in her next class and see what skills you can learn and remember - “you will never know if you can actually do something against all odds until you actually do it” Abby Wambach
