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!

Thank you so much, Kelly! You are wonderful!
