Flourishes Calligraphy Workshop

This three-hour workshop focuses on learning how to decorate words and short texts with elegant flourishes. Participants will explore how decorative strokes can enhance rhythm, movement, and balance in calligraphy, and how to apply flourishes thoughtfully and with intention.

The workshop is suitable for participants with some prior experience in pointed pen calligraphy. It will be especially helpful for those who have attended introductory classes such as Note to Yourself, Modern Calligraphy, or Holiday Calligraphy. The class is structured in a supportive, approachable way, with an emphasis on exploration and skill-building rather than perfection.

Participants will practice embellishing individual words and short compositions, gaining confidence in using flourishes in a controlled and expressive manner.

There are two dates available for this class:

March 4 | 10:00 AM–1 PM (Wednesday)
March 8 | 3:00–6:00 PM (Sunday)

Member $95 / Non Member $110
