Want to learn calligraphy?

We offer private lessons

designed just for beginners!

Your first lesson is a fun, hands-on, two-hour session where we’ll dive into the basics of calligraphy. Together we’ll explore the tools, learn the fundamental strokes, and start on the lower-case alphabet.

You won’t need to bring a thing, I’ll provide a Workbook and Supply Kit containing everything you need to get started - practice sheets, dip-pen, several inks, and a premium ink/pen holder.

The cost for your first 2-hour lesson, workbook, and supply kit is $200.  After you’ve had a couple of weeks to practice what you’ve learned, we can schedule custom-tailored 60 or 90 minute sessions where we’ll refine your lower-case letters, work on capitals, and more!

Let’s get you started!
