What you'll do:

Pick up a dip pen for the first time and leave with your own modern calligraphy style. Arielle Basha, a professional calligrapher who's worked with brands like Saks Fifth Avenue and Gucci, walks your group through every stroke in a relaxed, hands-on calligraphy class in Atlanta.

• Assemble Your Pen - Learn how to load and hold a traditional dip pen like a pro; no experience needed.

• Practice Core Strokes - Master the basic up and down strokes that form the foundation of modern lettering.

• Build Your Letterforms - Work through the alphabet, letter by letter, at your own pace.

• Connect Words and Phrases - Combine strokes and letters into flowing calligraphy phrases.

• Take Home Your Work - Keep your practice workbook filled with your new lettering skills.

By the end, you'll have a stack of pages showing just how far your hand came in two hours, and a new skill you can keep practicing.

Why we love it for your group:

• Beginner-Friendly - No steady hand or prior experience required; Arielle breaks everything down step by step.

• Private Group Setting - Your crew gets the space to yourselves, perfect for a bachelorette party activity in Atlanta or a bridal shower.

• Hands-On Instruction - Small, personal guidance on pen control, pressure, and technique from a working calligrapher.

• Take-Home Kit Option - Upgrade to a full beginner kit so anyone in your group can keep practicing after class.

• Elevated but Relaxed - A creative, low-key way to spend an afternoon together before a bigger night out.
