Intro to Brush Pen Calligraphy Class

Come learn the magic of modern brush pen lettering in this beginner level workshop!

We’ll start by reviewing the essentials, including an overview of tools, the basic pen strokes, and how to form uppercase and lowercase letters. Next you’ll practice the techniques and apply your new skills to create a hand lettered quote that is destined for a spot hanging on your wall.

Continue your practice and you’ll be a lettering rockstar in no time and using your new calligraphy skills to create custom wall art, greetings cards, signage, and more!

All necessary materials are provided and yours to take home, including our favorite brush pen and The Scribblist Brush Pen Calligraphy Workbook. The workbook includes alphabet guides and a section full of resources for continuing your calligraphy journey at home.
