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.

PLEASE NOTE: Some of our classes are held at 21+ establishments, so please read the class description before purchasing.

Michelle Chu

Daly City, CA

Howdy! My name is Michelle and I recently moved to the Bay Area after 27 years in Austin Texas. I currently work full-time as a manager at a tech company. In my free time, I play badminton and dabble in other kinds of arts & crafts. I purchased an ink and nib set from Barnes & Noble around 2013 and experimented with writing letters to friends like people did back in the 1800s. I then moved to calligraphy soon after and haven't looked back since! I have taken classes in a wide variety of different scripts with broad-edge nibs (Foundational, Roman, Uncial, Gothic, Italic) and pointed-pen nib (Copperplate, Spencerian, and Modern), and love the beauty across all types of hands. While I don't mind doing calligraphy for family and friends, my passion lies more in teaching so I'm able to increase appreciation for this type of art to more people. I'm excited to be part of the Sip & Script family!
