workshops

Currently offering lessons on Zoom! (Thanks for nothing CORONAVIRUS)

I also have several (virtual) classes available through the Rochester Brainery!

Available workshops:

Modern brush calligraphy

In Modern Brush Calligraphy, we focus on using small-style brush pens to learn the basics of calligraphy and letter-shapes. Students receive practice sheets and pens and are given individual attention in a group setting. You will leave the class with the foundations of modern calligraphy and the confidence to keep practicing and create beautiful modern calligraphy!

Brush Calligraphy: Level 2 

This new class will focus on layouts for lettering, as well as adding flourishing and more flair to your lettering! This class is for anyone who has taken Modern Brush Calligraphy (or has equivalent experience) and wants to really take their lettering and modern calligraphy to the next level. 

Dual-brush lettering

This class focuses on the power-house of the dual-brush pen, specifically those made by Tombow. These brush pens have a large tip, which can be daunting to the beginner, but they can be used to create beautiful lettering art AND be used as watercolor paint to make exciting backgrounds for lettering and greeting cards. We will explore it all in this class! 

Watercolor lettering

Learn the beauty of watercolor lettering. Students will receive a paintbrush and paint to take home, along with the skills they need to keep practicing! We'll go over some lettering basics as well as blending paint seamlessly. 

ipad lettering with the procreate app

iPad lettering is so versatile and so portable! Learn to use the Procreate app in this special digital-lettering class. We will go over the basics of using the app, plus some special tricks that are unique to the iPad. Students must have an iPad with Procreate installed and a stylus to participate (does not need to be an iPad Pro/Apple Pencil, though that is what I will be using). 

Faux Calligraphy

Love the look of modern calligraphy but confused by the brush pen? In this class, we learn the shapes of modern calligraphy and how to add the weighted lines in, all by using thin pens. Plus! This class includes a craft where we will decorate our own journals to take home.   

Making homemade pierogi

Not hand-lettering related, but I love to teach folks how to make homemade pierogi! I teach these classes seasonally through the Brainery, and they are available as a private class option as well.
