Beginner Modern Calligraphy Class

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.

Make It an Outing:
Arrive early or stay after class to enjoy Oaken’s signature dishes! Mention your participation in the Sip & Script® class for 10% off your food order. Drinks and food will also be available for purchase throughout the workshop.

This class is designed for beginners but also makes a fantastic refresher for those with some experience. Left-handed participants are welcome, and tracing paper will help you build muscle memory and confidence to continue your calligraphy journey beyond the class.

Note for Parents: Children under 16 are welcome with a ticketed adult. Please keep in mind that adult beverages may be consumed by other participants.
