About this Event
You’re in the right place if:
- You’re curious and secretly admire the calligraphy craze on Instagram. You’re inspired to stretch your creative muscles. You wonder if this could be your new form of self-expression.
- Or maybe you’re not confident in calling yourself creative, you feel a little dry, but you’re hungry for inspiration, for something new...a new creative outlet and a way to slow down your mind or heart.
- Or perhaps you’re a closet calligrapher, experimenting on your own at home through youtube videos or library books. You wonder if real-time learning with like minded pen geeks might accelerate your learning.
- Or maybe you’re searching for a fun and meaningful experience to share with your friends.
No matter where you are in your journey, these calligraphy workshops will refresh your heart and empower you with the creative confidence and tools to live an inspired and intentional life of impact.
This is your invitation to step away from the fullness of your daily life for a little creative space to refresh your heart and enjoy a time of relaxed fun, inspiration, and connection.
In a hyper-digitized super-speedy world, calligraphy and handlettering bring back a touch of personal and relaxation/reflection into your life and relationships.
In this introductory exploratory workshop:
- GET GROUNDED: We'll start our time setting our creative intentions with a mindful exercise and address any anxieties around creativity or perfectionism. We'll hold space to engage freely with a spirit of playfulness, curiosity, and compassion for ourselves and one another.
- GET CREATIVE: We'll deep dive into modern script lettering style with a pointed pen metal nib pen. Explore and speed date different pens from our community toolbox.
- GET CONNECTED: Enjoy good conversation with those looking to create meaningful connections.
