“Join us for the ultimate calligraphy class, where you’ll learn from the expert everything you need to know to begin your practice!  The class will start with the basics, where you’ll be given Diva’s acclaimed Calligraphy Starter Kit (wooden dip pen, nib, bottle of ink, and A-Z chart) and learn about the tools of the trade, followed by a comprehensive warm-up. For the next part of the class we’ll learn our ABCs, using Diva’s renowned style as a guide, along with her invaluable tips and individual attention.  For the last part of the class we’ll learn to connect letters, practice decorative motifs, and design monograms for personal stationery. With Diva’s guidance and encouragement you will also be given an additional nib (her favorite), more ink colors, and more paper options to use.  In addition you will leave with a workbook of exercises to help you continue to flourish in your practice after the class is finished!
