Beginner Calligraphy at The Noble Capybara Bookstore & Gift Shop

Join Sip & Script^® for an evening of Literary Flourishes: A Bookish Modern Calligraphy Class for Beginners!

Join us at The Noble Capybara Bookstore & Gift Shop in Lisle, Illinois for pretty lettering! Whether you’re a stationery nerd, DIY Bride-to-be, or just a crafty individual, in this workshop you’ll be learning an introduction to modern calligraphy with a pointed dip pen and ink. We will cover all the basics and get you ready to add those special lettered details to your snail mail, wedding paper goods, home decor, junk journal and more for the Spring! The perfect crafty evening 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. We will also have special book themed practice guides to work on and take home. Everything is yours to keep at the end of the workshop! Come early to browse the books and selections of gifts.

 A variety of tea, coffee and hot chocolate will be available during class. We will start class promptly at 6:35pm. 

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 16 and under: We love to share this passion with kids. You are welcome to get a ticket for your child as long as you are comfortable with people around them having a drink or two. We do ask that anyone under the age of 16 is to be accompanied by a ticketed adult at all times.
