Celebrate Valentine’s Day in style with an afternoon of creativity and fun at Oaken Bistro + Bar in Lake Forest, IL! We’re thrilled to partner with Sip & Script® to bring you a beginner-friendly modern calligraphy class. Whether you’re a stationery enthusiast, DIY bride, or just looking for a unique experience, this workshop is perfect for you.
During this hands-on session, you’ll learn the basics of modern calligraphy using a pointed dip pen and ink. We’ll guide you step-by-step as you create stunning lettered details to elevate your Galentine’s Day cards or heartfelt notes for loved ones.
What’s Included:
1.5 hours of professional instruction and demonstration
A beginner’s calligraphy kit (two nibs, black ink pot, two letter guides, tracing paper, and a straight pen holder)
All the materials you need for the class
Valentine’s goodies to help you craft a sweet, personal message
Everything you need to get started—and continue practicing—will be yours to take home.
