If you are new to brush calligraphy, there is a basic Beginning Brush Lettering course offered the 2nd Wednesday evening of every month, from 6-7:45pm. In this class, Rachel will go into depth the nine basic strokes needed to succeed at your calligraphy. So if your schedule permits, I encourage you to take advantage of Rachel's patient teaching style. Otherwise come to this class and know that we will give out a beginning packet for you to take and practice at home, but we will not spend a lot of time going over the basic strokes. We will quickly jump into a project of the month.

Open to all Adults and Teens 13+. Registration required.
