Holiday Gift Tags & Modern Calligraphy for Beginners at The Burleigh

Wednesday, December 7, 2022 December 7, 2022 Kennebunkport Resort Collection

Join us at The Burleigh at Kennebunkport Inn in Kennebunkport, ME for an evening of craft cocktails, great food and pretty lettering! Whether you’re a stationery nerd, DIY Bride-to-be, or just a crafty individual, in this workshop you’ll be learning an introduction to modern calligraphy with a pointed dip pen and ink. We will cover all the basics and get you ready to add those special lettered details to all your holiday tables, Christmas trees, hostess gifts, gift tags, holiday card mailings and more!

Class includes 1.5 hours of instruction and demonstration, our beginner’s calligraphy kit (two nibs, black ink pot, 2 letter guides, tracing paper and straight pen holder), and all materials to write on. Everything is yours to keep at the end of the workshop! Additionally, we will be lettering on holiday gift tags at the end of our class time!

This class will be held in partnership with the 41st Annual Kennebunkport Christmas Prelude! Learn more about the Christmas Prelude and the schedule of events here. To learn more about The Burleigh and The Kennebunkport Inn, check out their website and say hey on Instagram.

Feel free to come early to check-in, grab your seat, and order a drink and food (available to order throughout class too!). First class runs 4-5:30pm and second class is 6-7:30pm.

Class Expectations: This class is encouraged for someone who has never taken a calligraphy class before. We teach the basics and our expectation for you is to have ink flowing through your nib with enough confidence to be able to practice way beyond class. We love using tracing paper with our guides to help you build muscle memory and develop your own style!  If you have tried calligraphy out before, this class will be a great refresher and hopefully a chance to try some new supplies from our beginner kit that will re-introduce you to this lovely form of art!
