Crafts & Cocktails: Modern Script Calligraphy

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. What You'll Experience: - Introduction to calligraphy: Learn to use a dip pen and ink to form elegant modern letterforms. Plus your own calligraphy set to keep! - Hands-on practice: Build skills through guided exercises in strokes, letters, and layout. - A living tradition: Discover the rich history of calligraphy and its modern-day resurgence. - Relax and sip: Enjoy a cocktail, casual conversation and creative company.
