This workshop is all about having fun while learning the beauty of Modern Brush Lettering! I have tailored this workshop for you to not only learn a new hobby but to also discover your own creative side! This workshop requires no prior experience in calligraphy or lettering. Let's all just use this time to relax, learn, and letter with good company!
