How it works
This is a ClassBento LiveBox class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or just enjoy with some like-minded others. As seen on The Guardian, TimeOut, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and more. Here's how it works:
- Book or Request your preferred time
- We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft box containing the materials you'll need. Shipping is free, and you'll get your box delivered in time for your class. We ship nationwide.
- Enjoy the online class. You'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. On the day of the class, use that link to join the class. Class sizes are kept small, so you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device - smartphone, tablet or laptop. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.
What you'll do
Have you ever wanted to have the necessary skills to write pretty words, but always end up thinking your handwriting is awful so you would not be able to do so? Well, let me tell you one big truth: brush lettering has nothing to do with handwriting, anyone can do brush lettering! And what better time to learn a beautiful new skill than when you're searching for fun things to do at home.
In this live online class, we will bust the myth and start breaking down the alphabet together with the use of brush pens and watercolours, which you will discover when unboxing your craft kit with your teacher on the live stream. Plus, you don't need any prior experience to participate.
Your experienced instructor will take you through how to form letters working with vibrant watercolours to form beautiful words from the comfort of your home.
By the end of this class, you will be able to create your own stunning and colourful calligraphy quotes and will have acquired a new skill to practice when you need to put your mind at ease and fill your heart with brightness.
Add-ons available for this class
Make your colours shiny with iridescent paint sampler ($5)
Add some gold touches with gold ink sampler! ($5)
You can add these when you book (optional).
Knowledge Required
Beginner-friendly. This class is great for anyone curious about brush lettering, or perhaps you have some knowledge and want to pick up new tips or improve your technique with us and do something fun together.
What you'll get in your craft box
- Workbook- Quality watercolour set - Micador Koh-I-Noor
- Brush Pen (aqua)
- Mixing Palette
- Watercolour paper
You will receive this box close to the date of your class.
What you'll need
- Glass of water for watercolour. - Paper towel (toilet paper/tissues or anything that can absorb water and can be disposable in case you can't find toilet paper around).
Suitable for
This Box and Live class is a great indoor activity idea for individuals and couples as well as for virtual team building activities at home. This is a fun indoor activity, suitable for adults, and kids (minimum 12 years old). An adult must be present whilst kid(s) engage with the box.
This would also be a great Father's Day gift idea.
Your teacher
I´m Vanessa, Spanish Designer & Calligrapher based in the gorgeous Bondi Beach, Sydney.
Australian beautiful turquoise waters are my main source of inspiration to create bespoke calligraphy and illustration designs.
I have University studies in Fine Arts, and have dedicated many hours of my life to teach one-on-one and group courses, and now I'm back to share some love with you in my workshops, especially if you are looking to dive in and create your own pretty letters and decorations.
Looking forward to meet you and create together!

Vanessa is a great teacher. The workshop was fun, and she was very friendly and open, giving us lots of tips. She taught us starting from the basics. It's great for people who get overwhelmed by all the YouTube videos and materal available online (like me). The online workshop went very smoothly with no hiccups. The box of material arrived very fast and it was well packed and very cute I highly recommend this workshop. Look at this picture of my before and after!

This class was really well put together, every detail was thought about (including sending already filled water brushes in the kit). Vanessa was a great teacher so accommodating and she explained things in a very easy and simple manner. I thoroughly enjoyed this class. In this class the Vanessa breaks down the different brush strokes of brush lettering and shows you some ways water coloring is fun. Great class would recommend to others.

Sarah Stevenson • May 2020
Vanessa was an amazing teacher and guided us through the steps warmly, giving us corrections & feedback throughout. The class was fun & I enjoyed learning a great new artistic skill! :)
Ruth Bajo • May 2020
For an introductory class, Vanessa covered pretty much what a newbie would need to kickstart their curiosities for brush lettering. A super pigmented watercolour palette was provided in the craft kit, along with handouts, awater brushpen and a couple of sheets of watercolour paper.
Her love of brush lettering and sharing her knowledge was reflected in her enthusiam and confidence during the workshop. Her method of teaching basic strokes helped me to get a better understanding of how to 'draw' each letter.
Keep at it Vanessa!
Kate Prins • May 2020
