CAFE EVENT: Pups & Pens Modern Calligraphy for Beginners

Join us at Doggie Sweets in Long Branch, NJ for pretty lettering on National Dog Day! Whether you’re a stationery nerd, DIY Bride-to-be, or just a crafty individual, you’ll be introduced to modern calligraphy with a pointed dip pen and ink in this workshop. We will cover all the basics and prepare you to add those unique lettered details to your snail mail, wedding paper goods, home decor, and more! The perfect crafty night out!

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. As for sips, this venue is BYOB so you are open to bringing your own wine and snacks.

Feel free to come early, grab your seat, and purchase any treats and toys for your doggie. Doggie Sweets is a premium pet cafe specializing in quality food, treats, and supplies for dogs. This venue is pet friendly so you can bring your furry friend if you’d like. Non-pet parents are also welcomed! 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!
