Friends!
This Winter marks an exciting time for us all - learning new skills, forging new friendships, exercising new habits, and treating ourselves to all things good. I teach not only to help facilitate these things in others, but to do the same for myself.
Historically my classes sell out in the beginning of the year, because everyone seems to be hot to treat themselves to "me time" after catching your breath after the holidays. I am encouraging you to sign up soon and save yourself a seat at my table. I offer classes at Binders and Spruill and am looking forward to meeting all of you!
This quarter I am offering a new class called Cursive Crush, designed for both advanced and beginner calligraphers, all adults and tweens. Below is a short description of the workshop.
Much love and inky thoughts and Happy New Year!

The speed of digital communication today has gifted us with more time to pursue things we love. But somewhere along the way, we’ve forgotten how good it feels to use a writing instrument to record our thoughts for ourselves and to those we love. Writing, and the time it takes to produce letterforms, is good for the body, mind, and spirit. It is also a gift to the recipient, who holds your elevated thoughts in their hands, literally, and with far more consideration and pause than through a text or email.
The child of Spencerian calligraphy, Cursive Handwriting is not forgotten, because we have made a table for you to come join us in two fun and joyous days of lettering. Students will learn (or re-learn!) capitals and lower case letterforms, through formal exercises in structure, rhythm and flow - all standards similar to those taught not that long ago.
Day one is spent on spacing and lower case characters. Day two we’ll dance with capitals and dive right into an envelope addressing/letter writing project. Both days we’ll take an hour break for lunch. This workshop is suitable for calligraphers, tweens, and all adults.
