We are excited to roll out Winter 2019 dates for modern calligraphy and hand lettering classes in Seattle! We purposely curated classes that haven’t been on the roster for a while and selected a few that are back by request!

First up: Pointed Pen Calligraphy where we use nib and ink, the same tools that have been used for millennia, to learn calligraphy. Happening this Saturday, January 12 from 11am to 2pm at Sweetgrass Food Co. Beginners welcome!

Secondly, Hand Lettering and Design. We will learn 3 hand lettered alphabets — cursive, serif and sans serif — and primarily use pencil and pen to draw letters and simple illustrations. We will spend the second half of lass to work on a project, so think of a short phrase of 3 to 5 words that you would like to letter. Most of our classes are suitable for beginners, though we recommend having a little background in calligraphy or design before taking this class as it is nearly twice as long and moves rather quickly. This will be on Saturday, January 19 at Fran’s Chocolatesin Georgetown from 11am to 4pm-ish.

Third up, Urban Lettering is a loose, casual script font and sans serif font using a round paintbrush and watercolor ink. You’ll see this style used frequently in cookbooks and in social media. This class will be at Sweetgrass on Saturday, February 2 from 11am to 2pm.

Come letter with us! We have a blast in class (as our students will attest) and we keep our classes small so everyone receives personalized feedback.
