Pointed Pen for Beginners by Pens & Petals

  • Loughlin Vineyard 299 Middle Road Sayville, NY, 11782 United States (map)

In this workshop you will be introduced to the art of pointed pen calligraphy using a traditional dip pen and ink. We will focus on creating basic strokes and techniques to construct modern lettiering and build confidence for continued calligraphy practice. Class includes 1.5 hours of instruction, and all calligraphy materials to keep at the end of class.

Please note this is an outdoor venue, and class may be subject to change weather permitting. Please note class attendees must be 21 and over.

Class includes 1.5 hours of instruction and demonstration, their beginner’s calligraphy kit (two nibs, black ink pot, 2 letter guides, tracing paper, and straight pen holder), and all materials to write on. Everything is yours to keep at the end of the workshop!

Please note we are an outdoor venue!!! Feel free to come early, grab your seat, and purchase any food or drinks (charcuterie and drinks are available to purchase throughout the class, too!). Class will start promptly at 5:30pm

Class Expectations: Yes, lefties are welcome too! This class is encouraged for someone who has never taken a calligraphy class before. We teach the basics, and our expectation for you is to have ink flowing through your nib with enough confidence to be able to practice way beyond class. We love using tracing paper with our guides to help you build muscle memory and develop your own style!  If you have tried calligraphy out before, this class will be a great refresher and hopefully a chance to try some new supplies from our beginner kit that will re-introduce you to this lovely form of art!
