Brush Calligraphy Workshop 3/14

Join us on Saturday March 14th at 11am for our new Modern Brush Calligraphy Workshop! Learn modern brush calligraphy basics with Lizzie from Frankie Baby. Using a brush pen, you’ll start with warm ups in your notebook and move on to build letter forms and words. Make your own set of greeting cards or custom stationery complete with envelope liners you design using colorful inks and brushes. You’ll leave with a Rhodia notebook, portable brush pen, warm up guide, lettering guide and alphabet sampler, plus tips and tricks to keep up your new hand lettering practice!

Lizzie Knutson Cloward is a designer and small business owner in San Francisco. Lizzie and her husband started Frankie Baby out of a love for the craft of printing and inspiration from the everyday/ordinary things that make life fun. She turns her ink illustrations and lettering into greeting cards, art prints and more by Risograph printing them on recycled paper. Everything is finished by hand in their Mission district studio.

gather will provide mimosas and light brunch snacks to fuel your creativity. We'll even give you a special discount on purchases at Dandelion Post (where our studio is located) during the class! Be sure to sign soon, spaces will fill up fast.
