Sip, swirl, and script your way into the elegant art of modern calligraphy.


Unwind with a cocktail and explore the timeless art of calligraphy in this beginner-friendly workshop. Whether you're a stationery enthusiast, a DIY bride-to-be, or simply love getting crafty, this session introduces you to the elegant world of modern calligraphy using a traditional dip pen and ink.


Rooted in centuries of handwritten tradition, calligraphy has evolved from illuminated manuscripts to modern design. With step-by-step guidance, you'll learn foundational strokes, letterforms, and layout techniques—perfect for adding a personal touch to cards, home décor, or wedding goods. The workshop includes 1.5 hours of instruction and a complete beginner’s calligraphy kit (two nibs, black ink, straight pen holder, tracing paper, and guides)—yours to take home so you can continue your lettering journey long after class ends.
