Absolutely! Calligraphy isn’t about having perfect handwriting or being “artsy.” It’s about slowing down, following simple strokes, and enjoying the process. I teach step-by-step, so you’ll be amazed at how quickly your hand relaxes and your letters start to flow. Think of it less as writing and more as a mindful movement — one that anyone can learn, no fancy penmanship required.

Just yourself and a willingness to slow down! All the supplies you’ll need are provided for in-class use — pens, paper, ink, and everything in between. If you fall in love with the process (and you just might!), there will often be beginner kits available for purchase so you can keep creating at home.

Definitely! Many people come solo, and it’s one of the best ways to unwind, meet like-minded people, and focus fully on your own creative flow. My workshops are cozy and welcoming — you’ll feel right at home the moment you sit down, pen in hand. By the end, you might even leave with a new friend (or two)!

Life happens — I get it! If you can’t make it, just let me know at least 72 hours before the workshop, and I’ll happily transfer your spot to another date or offer a credit toward a future class. Because space is limited and supplies are prepared in advance, refunds aren’t available for no-shows or last-minute cancellations. If something unexpected comes up, please reach out — we’ll find a way to make it right.

Yes! A calligraphy workshop makes such a thoughtful, creative gift. You can purchase a gift card for any amount, and your recipient can use it toward an upcoming workshop. Just reach out to me at hello@calmingcalligraphy.com, and I’ll help you create something beautiful to gift — digital or handwritten, of course!

Calligraphy is more than pretty letters — it’s a mindfulness practice in disguise. Each slow, intentional stroke helps calm your mind, steady your breath, and bring you into the present moment. Many people say they feel more focused, relaxed, and creatively fulfilled after just one session. It’s a gentle reminder that slowing down isn’t wasted time — it’s restorative time.
