Modern Calligraphy & Ornament Lettering for Beginners

Modern Calligraphy & Ornament Lettering for Beginners is happening at Scion Cider on Tuesday, December 8. It's an introductory class, so if you've never held a calligraphy pen before, this is exactly where you start. The whole session is built around lettering acrylic ornaments, which you get to take home when you're done.

Calligraphy is one of those things that looks impossible until you see how it actually works. The class breaks down the basics of modern calligraphy—the way the pen moves, the difference between the thick and thin strokes, and how to form letters that look intentional rather than just written. From there, you'll apply those techniques to ornaments, turning a blank piece of acrylic into something you can hang up or give away. Since it's a beginner's class, the focus is on getting the fundamentals down rather than mastering a complex style in one go.

Scion Cider is a 21+ venue, so keep that in mind before you book. It's a cider bar, and having a drink in hand while you work on your ornaments is part of the appeal. The class is $50, and you'll leave with your finished lettering to show for it.
