Upcoming workshop in December

Busy week!...Three workshops at Oil and Cotton between last Thursday and today, and a FB post on the Museum of Bad Art page of a painting that I never thought I would see again...look closely and you can see the good calligraphy on the bad painting.

Stayed tuned for more info about my upcoming workshop Holiday Cards at Oil and Cotton on December 1st.

Beat the holiday rush....

Well, the Cursive Envelopes workshop at Oil and Cotton is about a week away (November 8 at 10a and November 9 at 6:30p).  Sign-up is going nicely...so sign up before the calligraphy workshops fill up!

I will cover how to beautifully address envelopes.  I will also cover project layout in order to help generate some handmade gift ideas.  See you next week at Oil and Cotton!

Don't forget I can address your holiday cards, holiday invites, save-the-dates, wedding invites, and more for you...but please don't miss the class.

Get ready for the holiday season...

Thanksgiving is just four weeks away!  Prime-time to send out holiday cards is the day after Thanksgiving.  Many wedding invitations and save-the-date cards also go out during this time of year. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to address those envelopes yourself with beautiful calligraphy?  Wouldn't it also be nice to be able to write out place cards, tags, cards, or handmade gifts? You can learn how by taking my next workshop at Oil and Cotton, Cursive Envelopes...November 8 (10a-12:30p) or November 9 (6:30-9p).  Click here and sign up! 

Make it a morning with 'Pen and Ink'

My Pen and Ink calligraphy workshop takes place at Oil and Cotton tomorrow morning at 10a.  I will cover Foundational Hand and we will make some cute little accordion style booklets in which to write a special note.   Click here and sign up!

Halloween is almost here, so that means Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and it's almost time to send out those holiday cards.  My next calligraphy workshop, Cursive Envelopes, will be offered on November 8 at 10a or November 9 at 6:30p...just in time to get you penmanship up to par! Beat the holiday rush and sign up here.

See y'all tomorrow at Oil and Cotton!
