About

Welcome to our next creative escape!

Join me for a warm, low-pressure afternoon exploring the beautiful, meditative art of brush calligraphy. If you have ever wanted to create those gorgeous, sweeping letters but didn't know where to start, this is the perfect place for you.

And here's the best secret about brush calligraphy. You do not need good handwriting to be good at it! Brush calligraphy is just a series of simple, repetitive shapes. We leave perfection at the door here, wobbly lines are just part of the learning journey, and this space is all about playing and having fun.

What We'll Be Doing

During our time together, we will start from the very beginning.

  • How to properly hold and use a brush pen.
  • The fundamental basic strokes (learning the magic of thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes).
  • How to connect those basic shapes to form letters and words.
  • Designing and lettering your own set of gift tags to take home, ready for wrapping up something special.

What's Included?

  • A Swallow Wind Art Calligraphy Kit to use and take home (including beginner-friendly brush pens, premium practice paper, and a comprehensive tracing workbook).
  • A warm, welcoming environment to meet new friends or catch up with old ones.
  • Plenty of one-on-one guidance to help you find your creative flow.

Browse the Pop-Up Shop

There'll be a mini pop-up shop featuring a wider range of Swallow Wind Art paper goodies. If you want to add more to your journal or find a gift, you'll find a handpicked selection of:
