Modern Calligraphy for Beginners @ Cafe Paris

Join us at Cafe Paris in Metuchen, NJ for pretty lettering! 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 free to bring your own wine/spirit of choice. There is also lots of beverage and food options available for purchase before, during, and after class (Cafe Paris Menu).

Feel free to come early, grab your seat, and purchase any food or drinks (food and drinks are available to purchase throughout the class, too!). Please note, one glass of wine is included in each ticket. Class will start promptly at 6:30 PM! There is metered parking available off-street and behind the restaurant (there is no fee after 6pm).

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 21 and under: This is an all-ages venue! However, please keep in mind that other guests may bring alcoholic beverages to consume.
