From one sold-out calligraphy class in Boston to workshops in cities across the country — this is the story of Sip & Script®.
A Chance Meeting
Meet the Founders
It started with a single sold-out class and an unexpected friendship. Meg and Julie — two Boston calligraphers who'd built their own lettering studios from scratch — crossed paths at The Big Fake Wedding and realized they shared more than a craft. They shared a vision.
In December 2015, Sip & Script® was born: a casual calligraphy night that became something much bigger. A decade later, it's grown into a nationwide community of more than 100 instructors bringing the joy of lettering to cities across the country.

The First Class
Sip & Script® began when Boston calligraphers Meg Chaloner and Julie Mancini hosted a casual calligraphy class — it unexpectedly sold out within a week.

Sip & Script was a happy accident. Meg and I never planned on building a company — we just wanted people to try something new and put their phones down for a few.
