Join me for an evening of slow strokes and soulful creativity at Crown & Press Gallery!

Whether you’ve never touched a pointed pen or you’ve dabbled with doodles in the margins, this beginner-friendly workshop is the perfect way to unwind, reconnect with yourself, and explore the beauty of calligraphy—one mindful stroke at a time.

We’ll gather in the cozy, inspiring space of Crown & Press on Ottawa Street for a 2 hour guided experience designed to spark creativity and soothe your nervous system. It’s more than just learning letters—it’s a calming ritual, a playful pause, and a beautiful way to return to yourself.

💫 What You’ll Learn:

  • How to use a pointed pen and ink (don’t worry—I'll guide you every step of the way!)
  • Foundational strokes that create the building blocks of modern calligraphy
  • How to form lowercase and uppercase letters with grace
  • Putting it all together: create your own quote or mantra to take home and display proudly

🎨 You’ll Take Home:

  • A full calligraphy starter kit (yep—it's yours to keep!)
  • Beautiful handouts + alphabet guides
  • Your very own inked-up creation
  • A sense of peace, presence, and creative confidence

📍Date: Friday, May 23
⏰ Time: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM
📌 Location: Crown & Press Gallery, Ottawa Street, Hamilton
👥 Space is limited to just 12 participants to keep things cozy and supportive
