Hi, I'm Shannon, your friendly, neighborhood calligrapher! I am a left-handed coffee addict, with a deep nerdy love for Harry Potter and a passion for calligraphy.
I recently moved to Saint Paul from Denver, and I'm excited to bring my top-rated classes to my new community! In my classes, I offer a practical approach and plenty of 1x1 coaching to make sure my students stop feeling intimidated and start having fun as they learn their new creative skill. If you like quirky humor and a fun, relaxed atmosphere, then my classes are a perfect fit for you!

Lovely studio and great experience. I really felt like I had a solid start to doing calligraphy.

I was new to calligraphy and I loved this class. It was helpful to get some practice in all while learning new tricks.

Signed up my girlfriend and her best friend as a birthday surprise! They both loved and and came home with some nice supplies to continue practicing!

Shannon breaks down the steps into bite-sized exercises and then helps you put it all together. You (obviously, after only a single class) don't leave a calligraphy master, but you do leave having accomplished quite a bit in class, and with enough skills and confidence to continue your practice. We were making words by the end of the class. Shannon walks around and give individualized attention to each student. Providing thoughtful and helpful insights. She makes it very easy to learn. Her handouts are great, she even includes a supplies list for continuing your practice.

This was a really fun class. I took this class to get a jump start on brush calligraphy and hand lettering and it got me started on the right track. Shannon was a really great and understanding teacher.

Shannon did an amazing job! She allowed a lot of time to practice and gave frequent individual feedback. She also provided a list of all the supplies we used and where to find them, so I can continue working on brush calligraphy. My friend and I want to take more classes from her. It was also a bonus to have a special takeaway at the end of the class!

Our instructor was cheerful, helpful, and very experienced. She was able to balance getting the entire class through the program, and giving us personalized attention. We were sent off with plenty to work on, so we can continue to improve our skills on our own!

Shannon was very encouraging and patient with us. Also, the craft was adorable. We had a great group of ladies that were excited to learn so the class was a blast. I'm definitely looking forward to taking another one of her classes soon!

I was looking forward to this class for weeks and it did not disappoint. Shannon is a great teacher and helps guide you through any issues you may have. I’ll be taking another class with her for sure!

This is such a fun class! Shannon is a great teacher. She is so patient, and she knows exactly how to explain things so you can understand and apply to your technique. With only 8 people in the class it allows for a lot of special attention from the teacher if need be. I already signed up for my next class with her!

This is my 4th class with Shannon and I very much enjoyed it like I have with previous classes. Shannon provided all supplies and walked us through all lower case letters and gave us instructions for uppercase and numbers. If you're looking to get into calligraphy I would definitely start with one of Shannon's classes.

Again, Shannon never disappoints. This class was very good, but challenging.

I signed up for this course because like many of you, I got pinterest envy from all of these talented calligraphers! Additionally, it was a great value for the cost, 3 hours of instruction! We learned the whole lower case alphabet! I was extremely nervous for this class, but the small group size and the structure made me feel at ease! Shannon is so sweet, so positive and really talented! If it wasn't for her instruction I'm sure I would have done way worse. Every 20 minutes or so she goes around for one on one instruction which is very helpful. Be prepared to use your hand like you've never held it before, but I promise it will be soooo worth it!

This class was so much fun! Shannon was an excellent teacher. She was prepared, organized and very helpful. I had so much fun, I'm planning to take another class from her.

Shannon's class was great and she offered a wonderful hands-on learning experience. She had the relevant materials and gave us some great things to take home and keep practicing. The best part was the personalized project she helped us with allowing us to put our talent to real-use. And she had snacks!! :) All around amazing experience!

This is my second class with Shannon, and there's a reason I keep taking classes with her! Shannon is a great instructor. She's very positive and upbeat about teaching a rather difficult skill. She's very supportive and takes the time to sit with each student individually to make sure they are learning correctly. I appreciate her time and patience when learning calligraphy from her, and will continue to take classes with Shannon. If you're interested in Calligraphy I would 10 out of 10 recommend taking Shannon's classes.

Shannon is a great teacher. She went step-by-step through the entire lower-case copperplate alphabet. She took time to check in with us after every two or three letters to make sure that we were good on the letters. There was plenty of hands on practice time as well personal demonstrations if needed. I look forward to taking Pointed Pen II with her soon.

I really enjoyed how Shannon taught this class. She went through the entire lowercase alphabet with us step by step which was very helpful. I enjoyed the whole class overall. The size was good, the location was nice too. I am looking forward to taking a more advanced class with Shannon in the future!
