One of my favourite ways to relax and create lovely gifts for others is watercolour brush lettering + calligraphy… and you can learn this sweet skill, too!

Come master the techniques required to develop the art of watercolour brush lettering + calligraphy—everything you need to send sweet notes to loved ones, embellish wedding stationery, sass up your next event, and decorate your home!

We start with warm-up drills, learn the foundation strokes to create the minuscule (lower case) modern calligraphy alphabet, and master the brush to create those elegant thin + thick lines… Then we practice, practice, practice!

Includes your very own watercolour brush lettering + calligraphy starter kit: worksheets, a fine liner watercolour brush + watercolour journal or pad.

$120 + HST per person | Suitable for anyone 14+

Supplies + tea/coffee provided, including a take-home kit!

Participants are welcome to bring their own snacks

In this 3-hour workshop, participants will create 16 x 16″ whimsical acrylic paintings using simple illustration + painting techniques.

Starting with a black canvas, participants will illustrate a simple scene using chalk before painting inside—and outside—the lines, leaving the chalked lines untouched. Once everything is dry, the chalk is wiped away and the black lines remain, leaving a whimsical, colourful creation to be proud of!

This workshop is lovely to do with kids!
