Lettering & Design with Bold Contrast and Creative Flow
Discover the expressive potential of the Pilot Parallel pen in this dynamic two-day workshop!
Far more than a tool for traditional calligraphy, this versatile pen opens the door to an exciting world of mark-making, spontaneous design, and artistic play.
With its crisp, sharp edge and uninterrupted ink flow, the Pilot Parallel invites you to move beyond the basics.
You’ll explore a range of innovative lettering techniques and compositional approaches that highlight contrast, rhythm, and visual impact.
Through a series of guided exercises, you’ll experiment with design principles to create captivating layouts that fuse letterform and art.
Whether you’re new to the tool or looking to deepen your skills, this workshop encourages exploration, discovery, and creative freedom.
Level: Open to all. A basic understanding of edged pen lettering is helpful but not required.

Flat Brush: From Floral to Abstract
Explore Expressive Painting & Calligraphic Backgrounds with Confidence
Discover the versatility and magic of the flat-edged brush in this two-day creative immersion with Connie!
While it’s a go-to tool for brush lettering, the flat brush is equally at home painting delicate florals, moody landscapes, or expressive abstract marks.
Day one introduces simple watercolor florals and atmospheric “essence” landscapes—perfect for anyone eager to explore nature through soft strokes and layered color.
On day two, you’ll shift into expressive abstract painting, experimenting with gestural marks and textured strokes ideal for calligraphic backgrounds in broadsides, artist books, and more.
No drawing experience? No problem.
This class is about freedom, flow, and discovering your unique mark-making voice.
Let go of fear, pick up a brush, and open the door to joyful experimentation.
Level: All levels welcome—especially those ready to play!
