FAQs (5)
Do I need to have good handwriting to attend?
Absolutely not! This is the most common misconception about calligraphy. Brush calligraphy is actually more like drawing shapes than writing. We will be breaking everything down into simple strokes, so your everyday handwriting does not matter at all.
I have never done anything creative before. Is this for me?
Yes, a thousand times yes! This workshop is designed specifically for complete beginners. My goal is to create a safe, cosy space where you can just play and experiment without any pressure to be "perfect."
What do I need to bring?
Just your lovely self! Everything you need to participate is included in your ticket. You will receive a curated Swallow Wind Art kit with pens and paper to use on the day and take home, plus we will have plenty of shared tools on the tables.
Can I come by myself?
Of course! Many of our journalers and crafters attend solo. When you check out, you can let me know if you prefer to be seated at a chatty table to make new friends, or a quiet, cosy corner if you just want some peaceful time to yourself.
Are food and drinks included?
While food and drinks are not included in the ticket price, our beautiful venue has a wonderful menu! You are more than welcome to order your favourite coffee, tea, or sweet treat to enjoy at your table while we letter.

Your teacher
Hi there! Swallow Wind Art has been creating and making adorable paper goodies in Sydney since 2020. My name is Fiona, the heart behind Swallow WInd Art. My love for journaling and doodling blossomed as a personal escape, much like crafting my cute designs. That's why I'm thrilled to offer workshops—to help you discover your creative spark, no matter your skill. Seeing someone's face light up when they create something sweet is my favorite! I love providing a cozy space to explore, breaking down those ‘I'm not artistic’ barriers. I truly believe creativity is for everyone, a way to find joy and calm. Fun fact: journaling and doodling are about intuition, not perfection! Like my cute-themed designs, your doodles will be uniquely yours. I love using different pens and textures for a tactile experience, and I'm always doodling cute little things on the go! Just as I try to be mindful, I encourage finding joy in the little things. Inspiration comes from everywhere, and I bring that into my workshops, helping you connect with simple, heartwarming moments.
