Calligraphy workshops

Enjoy a full experience learning the art of modern calligraphy! Perhaps you're brand new to it, or maybe you’ve dabbled in calligraphy, taken a class or two or learned online, but you're seeking hands-on in person guidance from a seasoned pro... this class is for you!

I love sharing my passion for creativity through calligraphy, and teaching others not only how to use a calligraphy pen but how to practice and develop a style that is unique and memorable. I’ve taught thousands of students, from the U.S. to Australia, for small private parties, office events, client events, as well as larger workshops for corporate groups like Facebook and Snapchat. Join me at an in person workshop to learn the art of modern calligraphy and how to create beautiful styled script lettering.

In person workshops are highly recommended to gain solid understanding of the craft, but if you live too far and can't attend a workshop in person or you're looking to practice specifically from my class alphabet worksheets, check out the downloadable alphabet templates!

What my students are saying

Angi is such an enthusiastic, and knowledgeable instructor. Her personality and expertise shine and she is able to effortlessly deliver a personalized experience, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable (even virtually!). I thoroughly enjoyed my time learning and had lots of fun practicing with Angi - if you are curious about learning and get the opportunity to sign up for a workshop do it!

This class was so fantastic! Everything was SOOO beautiful.....from our name cards, to the notebook, as well as the hand crafted ink wells. The refreshments were gorgeous - and so was Angi! The content of the class was clear, concise and we were guided through the basics with precision and confidence. It was FUN, collaborative, and so creative.

Angi is a master calligrapher and a brilliant teacher. She makes you feel so welcome and cares about your experience. This is one class that is really worth the time and money.

The best calligraphy workshop i have ever taken by far! Angi has excellent communication skills and a commanding knowledge of her craft. On top of that she is a true artist. I learned so much from this workshop. I felt encouraged to practice and in doing so i could almost hear some of the gentle reminders i learned. I highly recommend this workshop.

Angi is my favorite and most inspirational calligrapher! I took both the Beginner’s Calligraphy class & Intermediate Calligraphy class with Angi after seeing her work on Instagram! She is a natural teacher, as she takes time to explain her methods/technique and will also make sure she gives constructive criticism so that you can actually learn and improve! Since taking her classes, I have been receiving many compliments about how my calligraphy has been progressing. She will walk around and is intentional about taking a look at all of her students’ work. For the intermediate class, she purposefully made it a smaller class to devote more individual attention to each of her students. Most of all, she is a great and friendly person who always smiles and is very encouraging. I would recommend her classes to anyone who is seeking to learn or improve!

I recently took Angi’s online Secrets of Style Calligraphy class. The class was absolutely wonderful - full of knowledge, creativity and inspiration. Everything was very well organized - from the warm up drills to the alphabet letters practice, the graphic style experiments and beyond. Angi is a truly a very talented calligrapher, designer and teacher! My favorite part of the course was learning how she develops a lettering style starting with a phrase and incorporating emotion, visualization and vibe. I learned to feel comfortable with experimentation and varying styles. What a fun course!

Since beginning my calligraphy journey 5 months ago, Angi quickly became a big inspiration and so I was delighted to be able to take one of her recent online courses on Modern Calligraphy: Secret’s of style. Sharing her wealth of knowledge and expertise came naturally through demonstration and exploring ideas and methods. It was amazing to watch her creative process and get a better idea of how to tackle transferring ideas to paper. I loved the live interaction, being able to ask questions throughout and have the opportunity to go back over the vidoes later to take additional notes, thus being able to focus on a specific part of the practice. Worth every penny! Although modern calligraphy holds many similar elements, it does make a difference on how those elements are taught, explained, delivered and explored and Angi did a fabulous job. Thank you!

Business Mentorship

Multiple sessions are booked together at a discounted rate.

Individual sessions are one hour for $197.

You can book multiple hours, to be scheduled individually over time, or back to back for an extra long session.

Monetizing your passion can sound like a lot of fun, until you realize you have no clue how to make it happen, or you get stuck in a cycle, unsure of the way forward. Influencers appear to make it look easy (spoiler: it’s not). Business owner and calligrapher are two very different hats, and you’ll have to wear both! One google search can lead to overwhelming information from webinars, freebies, and online courses that fail to deliver. With one-on-one focus, we’ll tune out the noise so you can really engage to make true progress in your goals.

The business of calligraphy is highly individual depending on your goals, personality, and the things you love or don’t love doing. I’ve learned there’s no one-size-fits-all “3 step / 4 step / 10 step system” that works for everyone. I will be a resource to you, and offer specific guidance for your calligraphy business that will always surpass a cookie-cutter approach.

I’m a practical, business-minded calligrapher with twelve years of experience running a successful business—and I’d love to help you. During our session(s), we’ll dive into a structured virtual meeting to address your specific questions, prioritize, and create an action plan to get you on track and out of the weeds. You’ll gain clarity on your questions about how to make a living doing calligraphy, and how to conduct business ethically and effectively. We’ll work on getting the nuts and bolts of your business in place, and I’ll sit with you in the reality of what you need to do, so you can walk away with the clarity you need to build your business with confidence and integrity.

Questions?

I knew that I wanted to work with Angi after attending an online calligraphy workshop. Angi’s energy, passion, and commitment to her craft shines through in everything that she does. I am honored to have had an opportunity to work with Angi as my mentor throughout my creative business journey. Her insight is invaluable, and her enthusiasm is contagious! With Angi as your mentor, you will learn, above all, that you have everything that you need to get started in your journey. Angi helped me ignore the noise, avoid comparisons to other creatives, and allowed and encouraged me to find my place in the creative world. I am honored to have worked with Angi, and I cannot wait to see what lies ahead for me and my business. This is by far the best investment in myself and my business that I ever made.

ngi was amazing! She was so supportive and encouraging; it was like chatting with a friend. She broke down plans that had me confused, into easy to understand steps that just “clicked” with me. Angi had really great feedback that was tailored specifically towards my goals. She packed a LOT of info into a one-hour session, including leaving me with an action plan and goals to work on in the coming week. I left the session feeling inspired and empowered and ready to get to work (if only it wasn’t after regular business hours and in the middle of a pandemic!).
— Jennifer M.
Angi is such a delight to work with. Taking such a big step in learning the ends and outs of starting a business is nerve wrecking, but Angi put me at ease. She was light & fun, yet thoughtful and caring when discussing questions and the nitty gritty details of getting started. She made me hopeful for this journey and at ease with where I am on my journey. I can’t wait for our next sessions and I’m so thankful for this opportunity. I honestly feel like I’m learning from one of my calligraphy heroes.
— Jess M.
Angi is amazing!!! I felt completely aimless after starting my side business over a year ago. I had so. many. questions. Angi helped me really figure out my priorities, and I now feel like I know exactly what I need to do, and I have the tools to get to work. Seriously, the information and her transparency are absolute gold, plus, she’s super kind. Just sign up - you won’t regret it!
— Torri H.
When I started my business, Angi sat with me for hours, walking me through simple, cohesive systems. I followed her lead and have a financial & marketing system that’s intuitive and takes care of itself. Angi runs her own business with wisdom, focus and simplicity. She trusts her gut and works hard to execute her vision . To watch her work is to be inspired by her.
Her heart is big, she’s decisive and unafraid to run her business the way that works for her. And she’s very patient while the rest of us figure our business out.
