Event Overview

Join us for a night of craft brews and calligraphy at Novel Strand Brewing Co.!


Kelly, from Before Noon Paperie, will be teaching the basics of hand-lettered script and guide you in creating a set of 4 hand-lettered coasters ... all while getting to enjoy a local brew. You will learn how to create a hand-lettered script, tips for composing a small piece and get a list of the best tools for lettering on different surfaces. The photos above are just a few examples of what you might create with your newly learned calligraphy skills, but this is an opportunity to truly bring your own creativity to the table and create a set of coasters to display in your home or give as a gift to a beer-loving buddy!

Minimum age

All ages welcome

What's Provided

You'll take home (4) reclaimed aspen slice coasters, a calligraphy/hand lettering practice packet, and pencils. For use during class, we will provide you with (1) 10oz. beer (any of Novel Strand's incredible brews), paint pens, paint, and scrap paper.

    The class was wonderful and I highly recommend it if you are looking to try your hand at calligraphy. The materials provided were incredibly helpful and Kelly was sweet and willing to provide as much guidance as worked with your learning style.

    This class was so much fun even for somebody who doesn't have good handwriting. The instructions and practice was definitely worth it and I plan to keep practicing. If you're looking for something fun to do or to learn something new I'd highly recommend taking this class.

    I enjoyed my experience taking Modern Calligraphy. The class was well organized and the instructor was very kind and helpful. I am inspired to keep working on technique and hopefully one day master the art of calligraphy.

    Kelly was a great teacher! Walking in, she had the table set with instructional packets, ink wells, and adorable pouches with our supplies. She also made each of us a pretty little name card. It was nice to walk in and see such a lovely set-up, really set the mood for the class. Kelly talked us through the basics of calligraphy, including the best way to hold the pen and the angles we should work with, and gave us the freedom to move on at our own paces. She also was great about answering all our questions. Would definitely recommend this class!

    Kelly's Modern Calligraphy class was wonderful! She hosted it at the River North Workshop on a large table in the back of the room. There were 7 of us in the class and it didn't feel crowded. Kelly had all the supplies needed plus a cute little pouch to store our calligraphy pens in. She taught at a slow pace which was perfect for beginners (like me)! She had instructions, workbooks, and practice sheets for us. We learned the entire alphabet - lower and uppercase and had time to practice writing words and sentences. She had tasty snacks and encouraged everyone to bring wine or a drink. It was a laid back, fun class and I hope she hosts another!

I left with the cutest pouch filled with everything I need to practice my skills and a few new tricks and tips that will make my writing projects so much more fun and successful in the future. Thank you so much, Kelly! You are wonderful!
