Lettering with a Twist
Kick off the weekend with our BYOB brush lettering party! Part workshop, part happy hour, this event is perfect for a fun ladies night out or a unique date night. Whether you’ve lettered before or you’ve never picked up a paintbrush, we’ll provide step-by-step instructions and all the supplies you need to paint a beautiful, hand-lettered work of art. You just bring your favorite people and beverages! So let’s unwind and get creative!
Tickets are $50. Spots are limited. Please register online to reserve your spot! If your party is four or more, send us an email so we can make sure you’re all able to be seated together. See FAQs and register below.
Contrary to popular belief, calligraphy and handwriting are two very different things (although, this will help improve your handwriting). Anyone (yes, even lefties) can learn how to write beautiful calligraphy—it just takes practice and patience. That’s why our beginner’s workshop in contemporary, pointed-pen calligraphy will teach you everything you need to get started, without ever making you feel intimidated. We’ll go over equipment (pen holders, nibs, different ink types, papers, etc.), technique (holding the pen, dipping the pen in ink, understanding ink flow and pen pressure), lowercase letterforms, basic layouts and troubleshooting.
Spend an afternoon learning how to letter your own beautiful envelopes, invitations, chalkboards, wedding details and more. The possibilities are endless.
What you’ll get (and keep):
Investment: Beginner calligraphy lessons are $100 per person (plus ticketing fees) and include a curated take-home starter kit, champagne and light snacks (yes, we consider cupcakes snacks). Feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks, too!

Modern Calligraphy for Beginners: The Gold Edition
Introducing “All that Glitters,” a beginner-level modern calligraphy class, featuring two of my favorite gold inks! Finding an authentic gold ink can be tricky because they’re either too yellow or too bronze. But we take all the guesswork out of it by including two tried-and-true, professional-quality gold inks that you can use for a wide variety of projects.
What you’ll get (and keep):
Investment: While this workshop is worth its weight in gold (see what we did there?), tickets are $150 per person and include a curated take-home starter kit, champagne and light snacks (yes, we consider cupcakes snacks). Feel free to bring your own food and drinks, too!
