Highlight Reel from February Seattle Calligraphy Meetup

For the last few years we have been hosting a monthly Calligraphy meetup to foster the art form in the Seattle community and make friends — because loneliness is real and art is more fun together. Here’s what our gals were working on during the February connect at Sweetgrass Food Co.

This could be you. Come join us! Our next monthly gathering is tomorrow, Thursday, March 15. Register here!

Spring Lettering Workshops and Meetup

Now that Daylight Savings Time has gifted us an extra hour of sunlight each day, it feels like spring is just around the corner! Here are our upcoming spring lettering workshops and meetup.

Meetup: Thursday, March 15 from 6 to 8pm at Sweetgrass Food Co.

Our monthly gathering is a great opportunity to catch up on homework (ahem, #homwork), make new friends, and create space to create. There’s no cost, so come grab a smoothie and letter alongside other creatives.

Saturday, April 7 from 11am to 2pm at Fran’s Chocolates in Georgetown

Learn the art of brush calligraphy in this comprehensive (and most popular) class! The Intro to Brush Lettering class utilizes the Tombow dual brush markers and will introduce you to the necessary pressure techniques that will help in creating thick and thin lines, then dive into the lowercase alphabet.

Saturday, May 5 from 11am to 2pm at Sweetgrass Food Co.

In Watercolor Lettering you’ll learn lettering with the medium of watercolor paints and paintbrush and create beautiful ombre lettering art. We’ll learn the basics of watercolors, the pressure/release technique, and an upright script lettering font.

January Seattle Calligraphy Meetup

Oh how good it feels to gather. A big thank you to the beautiful souls who answered the clarion call for community and came to letter alongside each other tonight! We even had a cameo from a couple good looking guys! And to the glorious Sweetgrass Food Co. for feeding and hosting us. We made letters without a goal or outcome, enjoyed the company of other creatives, and brainstormed creative ways to eat more vegetables. Cooking class, anyone??

Missed it? We will do one again soon. Sign up here to be added to the list, and watch our Instagram stories for announcements!

If you’re in the mood for more lettering, we have 3 great lettering classes happening in the coming weeks: Urban Lettering, Intro to Brush Lettering, and Intro to Hand Lettering and Design. All classes are beginner levels. Dates and details in the link, plus an 18% off sale through the weekend. Arbitrary? 18 for 2018!
