MODERN CALLIGRAPHY FOR BEGINNERS

  • Steadfast Supply - Entrance on Water Street SE 301 Tingey Street Southeast Washington, DC, 20003 United States (map)

Join Sip & Script® for a Night of Learning Calligraphy!

Join us at Steadfast Supply in Washington, D.C. for pretty lettering and to celebrate the new film Wicked Little Letters, in theaters April 5! Whether you’re a stationery nerd, DIY bride-to-be, or just a crafty individual, in this workshop you’ll learn an introduction to modern calligraphy with a pointed dip pen and ink. We will cover all the basics and get you ready to add those special lettered details to your snail mail, gifts, decor, and more.

Class includes 1.5 hours of instruction and demonstration, our beginner’s calligraphy kit (two nibs, black ink pot, 2 letter guides, tracing paper and straight pen holder), and all materials to write on. Everything is yours to keep at the end of the workshop!

Get your tickets below!

Feel free to come early to grab your seat. Please note that seats are first come, first serve. Class will start promptly at 6:30 pm

Class Expectations: Yes, lefties are welcome too! This class is encouraged for someone who has never taken a calligraphy class before. We teach the basics and our expectation for you is to have ink flowing through your nib with enough confidence to be able to practice way beyond class. We love using tracing paper with our guides to help you build muscle memory and develop your own style. If you have tried calligraphy out before, this class will be a great refresher and hopefully a chance to try some new supplies from our beginner kit that will re-introduce you to this lovely form of art.

A note on bringing guests 16 and under: We love to share this passion with kids. You are welcome to get a ticket for your child as long as you are comfortable with people around them having a drink or two. We do ask that anyone under the age of 16 is to be accompanied by a ticketed adult at all times.
