Calligraphy & Watercolor Workshops in Marin County
Beginner Calligraphy
Workshop
New to calligraphy? This is where everyone starts. In this 3-hour hands-on session, you'll learn the basics of pointed pen calligraphy — how to hold your pen, get your pressure and ink flow right, and work through the full lowercase and uppercase alphabet, numbers, and symbols. By the end, you'll be connecting letters into words with real confidence.
​
No experience necessary, and lefties are always welcome. Classes are kept small (max 6 students) so you get real one-on-one attention along the way.

Floral Watercolor Workshop
A hands-on introduction to watercolor florals — poppies, daisies, roses, peonies, tulips, lavender, and leafy greens. We start with the fundamentals: must-have supplies, color theory and mixing, and basic petal and leaf brushstrokes, then bring it all together into a simple floral composition you'll be proud to hang up.
Class stays small (max 6 students) so you get personalized guidance and room to ask questions without feeling rushed. You'll also get to try a range of high-quality watercolor supplies during class — a low-pressure way to figure out what you like before you buy your own kit. I'll send you home with product recommendations either way.

Art & Affogato Meetup
This one's less structured, more social — a recurring gathering for anyone who wants to letter, paint, or just sit and make something in good company.
Held right at The Shack, so there's always coffee (and affogato) close by. Come with a project in progress or start something new; either way works.
