We had such a fun session during our Modern Calligraphy Workshop in Manila! We were lucky to have Antipodean Coffee in Salcedo Village, Makati all to ourselves for the three-hour session.
The modern calligraphy workshop is an introduction to the art of beautiful handwriting. Fondly called ‘The Happy Hour‘ Workshop, this class started in Singapore in 2014 and has been a regular class offering by the Happy Hands Project. I can’t believe it’s been that long!
Our class started with the description of the tools used in pointed pen modern calligraphy and how to prepare them for practice. In this class, we used the traditional pointed pen nib dipped in ink. Afterwards, the participants eagerly tried the writing exercises. Everyone was very keen to give it a try, and I must say that I was so proud of how their calligraphy have turned out. I also walked around and checked on their practice sheets, and everyone really did well.
Of course, the modern calligraphy workshop is never complete without good food and drinks. As I always say, never practice calligraphy on an empty stomach (it’s true!). We had an assortment of finger food, cake, cocktails and beer. All thanks to the lovely ladies of Citadines Salcedo Makati who organized this event.
To sum up, we all had a fantastic time learning a new craft.
Want to book a workshop for your group as well? The Happy Hour modern calligraphy workshops are available as in-person classes in Manila. Just send a message with the number of participants and class date and I’ll get back to you on the availability. Additionally, classes for corporate groups and brand collaborations are welcome as well. It’ll be fun, I promise!
Thanks to everyone who came to the workshop. Looking forward to the next one!
