Join us for a fun faux calligraphy workshop in collaboration with Fifth of June. We’ll start by practicing the basic strokes using simple tools like pencils and paint pens. Then, we’ll go through the full alphabet, uppercase and lowercase, using the faux calligraphy technique. Once you’re feeling confident, we’ll use gold paint pens to monogram a little dish that’s perfect for holding jewelry or trinkets.

All materials are included, your kit includes everything you need: a gold paint pen, a pencil, faux calligraphy worksheets or workbook, and carbon paper to transfer your design onto the dish. You’ll also get access to a video tutorial so you can keep practicing at home.

Tickets are $50 per person (not including processing fee's)
