Written By Molly Suber Thorpe

Attention Los Angeles-area readers! Urbanic Paper Boutique and I have teamed up to bring you a pointed pen calligraphy workshop. The event will be Sunday, April 21st from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. I'll be teaching the beginning steps in script calligraphy, from selecting the right supplies to making your first alphabet. The workshop is hands-on using traditional materials such as pointed pen calligraphy nibs, pen holders and real ink. In typical Urbanic fashion, drinks and treats will be served, and the ticket price also includes a beginner's supply toolkit:

  • 3 pen nibs
  • Straight pen holder
  • Oblique pen holder
  • 1 pad of practice paper
  • 1 jar of black ink (1/2-ounces)

Space is limited to 8 participants. Visit Urbanic's pop-up shop to buy your ticket now!
