0 Comments

Local workshop alert! I’ve had this workshop live, just haven’t shared it with anyone yet. Oops! Join me for an awesome modern calligraphy workshop! I’ll share with you all my secrets. ;) Maybe not all of them, but all of the calligraphy-related ones.

This workshop is a 3-hour event where we cover the basics of modern pointed pen calligraphy and any extras we can get to in the time allotted. I try to keep things going quickly, but not so fast that beginners get lost. I want to pack in as much information in such a short period of time! 

Class fee is $99. It includes all materials, snacks, handouts and instructions. All you have to do is show up. Workshop will be in Draper, Utah (we are subject to a last-minute change, but it’ll be within 15 minutes of Draper area). Feel free to email me melissaATmelissaesplinDOTcom or comment below if you have any questions about the class. Hope to see you there!

Utah Ornamental Penmanship Workshop

0 Comments

Apologies for the late notice here, but Hoang Dao is going to be teaching here in Farmington, Utah! If you’re unfamiliar with his work, he is incredible with the pointed pen, his traditional style is graceful and precise. He’s also a delight in person, too.

So this Saturday, join us for an Ornamental Penmanship workshop! A workshop like this won’t come around again; or maybe it will, but I don’t know how often he’ll visit Utah, being from Vietnam.

Details? This isn’t a beginner class. If you’re a beginner, you’re still welcome, but Hoang won’t be covering beginning details like how to put your nib into a flange or how to orient your pen properly to the page. He’ll be focusing on the letterforms, so basic knowledge of using a pointed pen is required. If you’ve taken my beginner class, you’ll do just fine. :) If you have questions, feel free to comment below or reach out through the contact form! Hope to see you Saturday!

I’ll be teaching a calligraphy workshop this weekend in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah! I’m so excited to be teaming up with the awesome Salt + Honey Market to teach a beginning pointed pen class. It’ll be downtown at the Charcoal Loft from 2-5pm this upcoming Saturday, March 12, 2016.

In the pointed pen workshop, I’ll be teaching the essential foundations to modern pointed pen calligraphy to make it graceful and readable. The workshop includes:

  • Calligraphy kit (2 holders, 4 nibs, ink, pencil, handout and notepad as seen here)
  • 3 hours of instruction
  • Drinks & refreshments
  • Swag bag

I’ve been teaching calligraphy online and off for 5 years. Righties and lefties are both welcome.

The workshop starts from ground zero. If you’re coming with some experience, let me know at the beginning of class. I’ll have you work on some more challenging work during instruction time.

Class sizes are small enough that I make rotations around during open practice to answer questions, physically adjust you to help with your positioning and encourage and critique your work. I look forward to meeting you on Saturday. SIGN UP HERE.

Unable to make it to Utah? Take the online class right here (same materials included holla!) and use code MARCH at checkout for 10% off. :) Expires 3/31/2016.
