Brush Lettering with Watercolours
I HAD NEVER DONE BRUSH LETTERING OR CALIGRAPHY BEFORE AND I FOUND THIS CLASS THE PERFECT WAY TO START. VANESSA MADE IT MOST PLEASURABLE AND SIMPLE TO FOLLOW. I WAS UNDER NO PRESSURE AT ALL AS THE HOUR AND HALF CLASS GAVE US PLENTY OF TIME TO PRACTICE. I WAS ORIGINALLY BOOKED INTO AN EARLIER CLASS BUT I WAS LATE SO VANESSA VERY KINDLY GAVE ME THE SPOT IN A FUTURE CLASS. THANK YOU SO MUCH VANESSA FOR SUCH AN ENJOYABLE TUTORIAL.

Calligraphy Workshop: Breathe Your Words Out
This workshop was the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning. Vanessa created such a safe and intimate environment where we didn`t just practice calligraphy but it was also a way to connect with beautiful people, unwind, relax and share some personal thoughts. Entering the room I was welcomed with the most lovely setup including personalised name tags, all the calligraphy supplies we needed, a sachet with a little clear quartz and an inviting cheese and food platter. I learnt a lot on this workshop thanks to Vanessa sharing personalised tips and tricks and helping us along the way with eternal patience. I could not recommend this workshop more, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to attend.

Vanessa is a great teacher, friendly and goes over all the relevant information like the materials itself and how to get good lines. It was a lovely location & the time just flew by. It’ll take practice to get good at it, but Vanessa teaches you all the fundamentals to continue practicing at home. Definitely would recommend to anyone interested in learning calligraphy :)

This workshop was the best way to spend a creative morning. The venue is perfect with a great vibe. Vanessa is lovely, patient, easily approachable and very helpful. It was a reduced number of people in this class due to covid, which actually was nice as Vanessa had more time to give feedback to everyone. All materials were provided and they were nice and easy to use, and perfect to take home and keep practicing. I felt like the time was flying during the workshop! I got a lot of personalised tips from Vanessa and she really made us all excited about brush lettering. I highly recommend this workshop, whether in-person or online.

This workshop is very well paced, structured, all the material such as the crystal with our name and ‘word’ that we received are personalised. It’s a very well planned and thought out workshop which is beyond my expectation. Not only I learnt how to do calligraphy but also had a chance to tap into my inner intuition during the workshop. It’s highly recommended and now my friends are asking when the next one is! Can’t wait to do another one with Vanessa from Bondi Letters!

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!

The location was in a beautiful little room at the back of a lovely cafe. They offered complimentary tea and coffee in the beginning of the event. Vanessa works with the group but also goes around and makes sure everyone is on track. she teaches you little tricks to master your brush lettering skills and every single person walked out of that room with beautiful written calligraphy I have already recommended this class to many of my friends and I will certainly be coming back for another class again.

I appreciate that she’s also quite environmentally conscious and she donated the profits of this workshop to helping wildlife affected by the bushfires.
We first learnt about creating a lovely range of colours with our water colour palette. Then we learnt to create strokes which we later combined to form letters and words.
All the materials were provided for and we got to take home our brushes, palettes, watercolours and worksheets so that we have everything to continue practising our new skills at home.
The class is held in an airy, bright and air conditioned private room behind a cafe. Not familiar with the area I found it hard to park so perhaps leave extra time to park if you’re driving there.
Thanks for the lovely class, gift and snacks Vanessa! Hope to attend another one of your classes in future.

Vanessa is such a great teacher and I had a lot of fun in this class! It was my first time doing any sort of lettering and she broke down the steps really well and came up to us each to give feedback. You get to keep the materials afterwards to practice at home. She even gave us a little gift pack of reusable stainless steel straws! So sweet. Snacks also provided for grazing. Thanks Vanessa!

This was a perfect introduction to brush lettering coordinated by Vanessa. She teaches with ease making it an enjoyable and easy experience, I highly recommend this to newcomers who’d like to step out of their comfort zone and embrace their mistakes as they develop their new calligraphy abilities.

The workshop was lovely, as the teacher! Vanessa has a lot of dedication into the detail and gives you tips very helpful about how to improve in the case you want to keep doing it. Don't hesitate to ask her any doubt, she will answer you so kindly and very concern that you'll get the proper answer.
I highly recommend the workshop, it gives you the basics to start doing brush lettering and is a goo way to be mindful for a few hours and focus in what you are doing.

I had the best time learning a new skill in brush lettering. Vanessa our teacher was super helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. We learnt basic techniques in brush lettering and for someone like me who does not feel they have any confidence in their creative side this was a lot of fun! Vanessa really took the time to help. Hosted in a studio room adjoining a cafe the environment was super relaxed. The starter gifts Vanessa also sent us home with were a thoughtful touch and will definitely help with keeping up the practice! Highly recommended

The workshop was absolutely inspiring. I really enjoy the practice even without having any prior experience in lettering. Vanessa is an amazing teacher and she gave us so much attention during all the process. Thank you Vanessa, I can't wait for the next one :)

Vanessa is a talented teacher, she covered everything from the very basics one step at a time.
The final result came easily and it was quite impressing considering I haven't handled a brush since primary school!
I think Vanessa could probably teach elefants to fly, if only they wanted to!

Loved how the teacher was very thorough and attentive, and the relaxing, casual and trendy feel of the venue! Will definitely do more watercolour lettering. Looking forward to continue using the materials provided to work on my techniques!

Vanessa is an attentive and talented teacher who gives a lot of individual attention to each student. This was my second workshop run by Vanessa, I love the lesson and the venue! I’m so grateful to Vanessa for taking the time to organise different inks for me to try after taking home the beautiful palette last time. Thanks to Vanessa for donating money to the fires from the proceeds of this workshop.

Vanessa is the funniest and most creative person I have met. I've been to two of her workshops and I enjoyed them so much! She is so passionate and will dedicate herself to explain and teach you properly. Time flew playing around with colours and writing the prettiest words, applying love and mindfulness. What I loved the most was that I was so present in the moment and being there just took me back to school homework and love letters hehe and I also loved very much my Vitamin Sea bag!
Thank you Vannesa!

Absolutely loved this workshop! Vane provides everything you need to get started and cute little extras. I now understand how to mix beautiful watercolours and have a great basis to create any word using the lettering technique she taught us. A very relaxing and fun way to spend the morning. Would be be keen for a round 2 workshop in the future!

I have truly enjoyed this amazing workshop. It was my first time trying brush lettering and to my surprise, I was actually pretty good at it. But I think it is also thanks to an amazing teacher Vanessa who was so lovely, explained everything and guided us all the way. The venue was beautiful, and with access to the cafe from where we got coffees and juices (already included in the package). Vanessa has also prepared some cheese, fruit and snacks. We also got to keep all the materials and received a beautiful bag as a present. What a great value! Overall all it was a very inspiring and super relaxing experience and I highly recommend it.

The brush lettering workshop with Vitamin Sea was an absolutely delight Vanessa was so thoughtful with all the beautiful materials and great quality tools we used. She was really patient with all the students, no matter what level we were. The venue was also pretty and Vanessa’s decoration, snacks and ambiance in the room made the morning one of a kind! Thank you Vanessa!
