Write & Delight: Calligraphy & Hand-lettering for Beginners

By Sunset Commons

Overview

A fun, seasonal workshop where you’ll learn calligraphy basics and craft personalized holiday cards to gift or keep.

Rediscover the joy of slowing down and creating something meaningful this season with a cozy, beginner-friendly Calligraphy & Hand-Lettering Workshop. If you’ve ever wished your cards, notes, or signs had a little more heart (and a lot more style), this is the perfect place to start.

Whether you’re crafting holiday cards, personalizing gifts, or simply craving a creative break, you’ll learn how to turn simple words into beautiful, hand-lettered designs — no experience needed.

What You’ll Learn

We’ll introduce you to the basics of modern calligraphy and hand-lettering in a fun, encouraging environment. You’ll explore strokes, spacing, composition, and decorative elements, with plenty of guided practice to build confidence as you go.

What’s Included

You’ll receive everything you need for class — all yours to take home for continued practice:

  • A quality brush pen
  • Tracing paper & lettering guides
  • Cardstock for your final pieces
  • A handy beginner guidebook

What You’ll Make

By the end of the workshop, you’ll create a set of personalized greeting cards perfect for the holidays — heartfelt, handmade pieces far more meaningful than anything off the rack. Use them for gifts, display them at home, or tuck them away as keepsakes.

Who This Class Is For

Absolute beginners are welcome, and returning creatives will enjoy a refreshing, confidence-boosting reset. Just bring a favorite quote, phrase, or holiday message you’d love to bring to life in your own hand-lettered style.

Treat yourself to a few cozy, creative hours this season — and walk away with a new skill you’ll use again and again.

🎟️ Seats are limited — reserve your spot and start creating words worth keeping.

About Sunset Commons:

Carmen and Steven started Sunset Commons to provide a space to connect and build community through arts and craft activities led by talented local artists. Inspired by a love for creativity and a desire to foster connection in the Sunset District, we envisioned a “third space” where neighbors can gather, unwind, and form meaningful relationships. Our mission is to empower self-expression, boost confidence, and offer an inclusive haven for everyone, from introverts seeking a calm environment to those enjoying health-focused traditional teas. Sunset Commons is not just a business - it’s our way of enriching the community we love and to the city we both grew up in.

*Our events are often photographed and filmed so we can share the fun with our community. If you don’t want to be on camera, no worries—let us know before the event.
