Take a Virtual Calligraphy Class

Take a Virtual Calligraphy Class

Kick back, relax and learn a new skill while you’re staying at home!

I joined Sip & Script as a calligraphy instructor in February. I’ve already been teaching my own hand lettered DIY classes, and am really excited to be teaching pointed pen classes, too! A little background on Sip & Script - it’s all about teaching fun, laid-back modern calligraphy classes at local venues. It was founded by two calligrapher friends, Meg and Julie, in the Boston area a few years ago and has grown to a group of instructors teaching classes across the country! It is really cool being part of a community of talented ladies & I’m loving it so far!

While obviously I wish we could be doing in-person classes right now, virtual classes are the next best thing. And calligraphy is the perfect quarantine activity because it is so relaxing! The smooth flow of the ink and soft scratch of the nib can be seriously therapeutic.

January Check In

January Check In

We’re three weeks into 2020. Let’s check in - how are those new year’s resolutions going? Personally, I said I was going to be more active and I’ve been doing well so far! But, I’m still feeling a little post-holiday sadness and not feeling super creative lately. January is the busiest time of year for my full-time job, so that definitely doesn’t help. I’m starting to really look forward to February as another fresh start.

I had the idea of doing a monthly “check in” post, where I could share a round-up of things that don’t necessarily need a whole post to themselves. Things like something cool I found out about or did, upcoming events I have going on, something on my mind or big projects that I’m working on. I’m going to try it out and see how it goes. Maybe I’ll think of a catchier title, too!

Holiday Hand Lettered DIY Class Recaps

Holiday Hand Lettered DIY Class Recaps

This December I had the opportunity to host TWO hand lettered DIY classes!

HAND LETTERED WOOD SIGNS

The first was at Lost Ark Distilling Company in Columbia, MD. Lost Ark is actually the next-door neighbor of Hysteria Brewing Company, where I’ve hosted all my other classes! Both are located in a business park type of area off of Snowden River Parkway - you’d never know from driving by that these two awesome hangout spots are back there, but once you know, you know!
