Bring your own supplies for a lettering project, practice sheets, lettering questions, or just a blank journal to doodle in and a beverage of your choice!

    While this isn't an instructed class, I will sprinkle in themes here and there (for those interested!) and bring fun pens, markers and other mediums for those interested in exploring and expanding their lettering knowledge.

    Drop in for one session or join for the whole year at a discounted rate. This time is set aside as a creative gathering time, not an instructed class, and that is reflected in the registration cost.
