About this Experience
What you'll do:
You and your group will spend an hour learning modern calligraphy hands-on, guided by a professional instructor who walks everyone through the fundamentals from the very first stroke.
Pen grip and posture: Your instructor covers the basics right away so no one spends the hour fighting their tools.
Letterforms and strokes: You practice the foundational marks that make calligraphy look polished, starting slow and building confidence as you go.
Your own piece: Before the session ends, each person creates a finished word, phrase, or short quote they actually want to keep.
Beginner-friendly pacing: The workshop moves at a comfortable speed, so guests with zero art background keep up just as easily as anyone crafty.
BYOB welcome: Bring a bottle and sip while you script; the relaxed format makes it easy to mix drinks with creativity.
This is a private calligraphy class in San Francisco built for groups who want something hands-on, low-pressure, and worth holding onto.
Why you'll love it for your bachelorette:
Chill but memorable: It gives the group a breather from high-energy plans without losing the fun.
Insta-worthy finished pieces: Everyone leaves with a handwritten piece that looks better than anything you could buy.
Truly beginner-friendly: No one needs art experience; the instructor makes sure every guest succeeds.
BYOB setup: Pop a bottle of rosé and turn a calligraphy session into a proper sip-and-script afternoon.
Customizable themes: The instructor can tailor the content around wedding phrases, names, or a specific aesthetic.
