Ready to dip your nib into the world of copperplate calligraphy? This four-hour workshop is your chance to master the art of strokes and swooshes. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned creative, we’ll guide you through the world of elegant letterforms—no prior skills required, just a love for all things beautiful and handwritten. Using an oblique pen holder, a flexible nib, and walnut ink (fancy!), you’ll learn the secrets of letter anatomy, rhythm, and spacing. It’s all about unlocking that stroke of genius – by the end of the session, you’ll have crafted your very own alphabetical masterpiece! Calligraphy isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a mindful, meditative practice that connects your brain, hand, and eye, to both ground and liberate you. You’ll walk away with a guidebook to keep the creativity flowing and the option to snag a take-home calligraphy kit for $35. If you’ve got a flair for the dramatic (or just want to impress your mates), this workshop is write up your alley. Your future birthday cards will never be the same!
