Modern Calligraphy & Holiday Place Cards for Beginners at Blacksheep Coffee

Join Sip & Script^® for a Night of Learning Calligraphy!

Join us at Blacksheep Coffee & Crepes  in Johnstown, Colorado for a festive workshop of thankful fun and pretty lettering for beginners! 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 all your Thanksgiving holiday tables with place cards, menus, food labels, bar carts and more!

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! Additionally, we will be creating holiday place cards at the end of our class time!

Feel free to come early to check in, grab your seat, and purchase any food (food and drinks available to purchase throughout class too!). Class will start promptly at 6:00PM! 

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.

A final note regarding ink:  We will be using Sumi Ink in class to learn pointed pen calligraphy.  Sumi Ink will wash off skin with soap and water, but it will absoulutely stain your clothing.  Please keep this in mind as your choosing what to wear to class!
