Modern Calligraphy Workshop — Revamped!

October 3, 2018

Modern Calligraphy Workshop via Happy Hands Project

The Happy Hour modern calligraphy workshops here in Singapore just had a makeover with a revamped calligraphy kit. Rebranding has been in my mind the past few months and it’s still ongoing as I try to update the tools here and there.

Last September, I launched a new modern calligraphy kit for the workshop which includes an all-new theme and additional tools and inks while retaining the ‘Make Your Own Happy Hour‘ workbook which is exclusive to the class.

A fun (yet useful) addition are the clay pen rests that I made specially for the class! During classes, the pen holders either roll off or drip ink on the table (or both) and these teeny pen rests keep those holders in place.

On top of that, I have significantly reduced the class size, making it even more beneficial to participants. Food and drinks will always be a mainstay in all Happy Hands Project workshops as I always say that writing with an empty stomach is definitely a no-no.

It’s Friday! ✨    Practice has been non-existent l It’s Friday! ✨ 
 
Practice has been non-existent lately, hence my uncial’s a little shaky. So I’m pairing this with some Michael Jackson to make up for it.  
 
Friday night means we get to order kebabs for dinner and afterwards I can sit and watch Netflix while eating a slice of sticky chocolate cake (which I learned is a Swedish recipe, and I made it myself).  
 
Yay weekend!

I bought the Kakimori Frost pen in moss specifically for my sweet-scented milky matcha ink. They’re a perfect pair! No performative aesthetics here, just pure writing satisfaction.

Stationery lovers, add this to your Tokyo bucket list 🇯🇵👇 
 
Hidden just a few minutes from Nakameguro Station is the Traveler’s Factory. You’ll find this nondescript gray building tucked away in a quiet alley. There was a short line of patrons outside when I got there, but it moves fast and is so worth the wait! 
 
Think walls lined with leather Traveler’s Notebooks, limited-edition refills, vintage-style stamps, and brass accessories to customize your setup. Love the display of washi tapes, and some pens and inks as well.  
 
Save this post for your next trip to Tokyo!

On a sunny afternoon in Tokyo, my family and I made the short walk from Kuramae Station to Kakimori, a stationery lover’s dream tucked away in the neighborhood. 
 
The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by shelves lined with fountain pens, rollerballs, inks, and stationery. Across the shop were displays of different paper options for those looking to customize their own notebooks. 
 
Of course, I had to try Kakimori’s signature dip pens. However, I found the nib a little too thick for writing. 
 
Upstairs, I visited Inkstand, where one can create their own custom ink blends. It was a fun space to explore, and the view overlooking the shop below was a nice bonus. 
 
I left with a couple of fountain pens and inks that I’m excited to share in my next post! ✒️
