Good to Know

This class is for anyone who's never picked up a pen. We teach the basics, and our hope is you leave with ink flowing through your nib and the confidence to keep practicing. Tried it before? It's a great refresher with new supplies from our beginner kit.

Left-handed? You're very welcome. This class is designed with lefties in mind — we teach you to get ink flowing through your nib with confidence, whatever hand you use.

All students under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a ticketed adult to our classes.

Inky Fingers Calligraphy

Margot is a Florida based, New England bred calligrapher who lives in Dunedin. A studio art major, she had zero interest in becoming a commercial artist so upon graduating, she hopped aboard a 125’ traditionally-rigged schooner and sailed down to a tiny tropical island full of creativity. While living in Key West and working as an eco tour guide, Margot decided to try her hand at dip pen calligraphy in 2016. She mainly specialized in weddings, decor, and restaurant/bar menus all over the island, slowly becoming comfortable putting her other artwork out there for sale, thanks to her little calligraphy business! She began teaching hand lettering in 2018 and has taught students from age 7 to 94, both virtually and in person. When not creating, Margot enjoys strolling in local nature preserves and eating all of the foods with her husband, preschooler, and puppy Scupper, as well as curling up with a good book. Margot starts her day with dessert and loves to letter on natural and recycled objects. You can see what she’s up to on Instagram or take a class with her in the Tampa Bay area!
