Grab your galentine and come play next weekend — we’re hosting three fun events that will be the perfect backdrop for you and your bestie: Sip & Paint (2/9) Candle-Making and Calligraphy (2/10) or our popular Brush Lettering workshop (2/8).

It’s official, Seattle workshops are open for registration! I’ll be flying back and bringing you 3 workshops in a row at different price points!
💌 Brush Lettering at @franschocolates on Saturday, February 8 from 10 to 12:30. This is a great place to start if you’re picking up modern calligraphy for the first time!
💌 Galentines Sip and Paint at @universalstandard in Belltown on Sunday, February 9 from 11 to 1. We’ll provide the mimosas and fun templates to decorate a wine glass that you can either gift for Valentine’s or keep. We have a bundled deal if you bring a friend!
💌 Candle-Making and Calligraphy with @elmcandlebar on Monday, February 10 from 6:30-9pm. This event is all about personalization — you’ll create your very own candle scent and then decorate the candle jar in a way that only you can!🕯
Scroll right for details, or click the link in the profile for registration! Now that I’m living in New Mexico it will mean so much more to see you at events! Can’t wait to see you there!
Hi guys, Sarah here from Lark Lettering! You can call me Lark if you want, like @wallywzrd does. 😊
Here’s a few things you may not know about me.
1. I’m a desert dweller. 🏜 After living in Seattle for 7 years I moved to Albuquerque for school. It was a scary thing to make such a drastic change but I still have my house in Seattle so feel like I’m still rooted in the PNW. Don’t worry — I haven’t forgotten about you or our community we cultivated. PS: I’ll be back in Seattle soon — the newsletter announcement will go out today!
2. I’m an @airbnb SuperHost! Since I wasn’t occupying my adorable house, I listed it on Airbnb and it was a big hit!
3. I’m the oldest of 5 kids. My mom was an art teacher so our house became the place for the neighborhood to come and cultivate creativity. My parents were okay with us drawing on the walls so me and all my friends made ourselves right at home decorating the walls. My dad told me later it took 7 coats of paint to cover. 🙄
4. I’m obsessed with glasses frames. These ones I’m wearing are from @eyebuydirect since everyone asks. 🤓
Thanks for reading, if you feel so inclined you can share something about you in the comments!

January welcomes in a new month, a new year, and a new decade — no big deal. We’ve got this.
This was made on an iPad with the Apple Pencil in the Procreate app. I uploaded a photo from Unsplash, then lettered January overtop using the monoline brush.
So long, 2019! Here’s a breakdown of our top 9 photos of 2019 on Instagram.
It looks like projects with tactile type, larger scale lettering, and overlays that involved me were the most resonant last year! Happy 2020, everyone!
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
The lettering was done by hand, then scanned and uploaded into Photoshop and layered on top of a photo. The photo was shot by Brad Bowen with a Canon digital SLR, and the greenery was styled by Sarah Ward.
L is for lemons. It’s been a minute since my last Edible Alphabet post, though this is one of my favorite ones to date! When I was at @adehogue‘s type class at @letter_west we listened to @beyonce‘s lemonade album exclusively so it only seems appropriate.
There’s a house in my neighborhood that has a candle in every window and every time I pass it, it’s so warm and welcoming that it makes me want to cry. At this, the darkest time of year, let’s be the light. Happy December, everyone.

It just feels right to shop small and support small businesses. With your shopping this weekend, I hope you allocate funds to shop small. The community will thank you for it.
This lettering was done by hand, then scanned and uploaded into Photoshop and layered on top of a blue background — you can see the texture in the text from the marker that was used.
What makes you come alive? How can you rearrange your life to have more of that in it?
These are questions I’ve been asking myself this year. I discovered flamenco dancing when I was 18 and it had such an impact that I rearranged my life around it… and continue to! This fall I’ve had the unique opportunity of studying dance extensively in the high desert of New Mexico and it has filled my bucket to overflowing.
Excited to be back in Seattle this week for a private workshop!
A little throwback to some earlier art from 2017.
This lettering was done by hand with a 4 round brush and black watercolor ink, then scanned and uploaded into Photoshop and layered on top of a photo — you can see the texture in the text from the brush and watercolor ink.
