The recent modern calligraphy workshop at Street Kohi Community Cafe in the heart of Maginhawa, Quezon City, turned out to be a fun and memorable experience for all of us.
Though it started out as a rainy morning in Quezon City (and probably the rest of Manila!), I was very much determined to make the best of it. After all, I believe a bit of rain would be the perfect backdrop for a cozy, creative gathering.
The attendees dove into the world of modern calligraphy with enthusiasm. In this workshop, I introduced the newly-printed latest edition of the ‘Make Your Own Happy Hour’ calligraphy workbook that is exclusively distributed in the Happy Hands Project calligraphy workshops.
Aside from the usual calligraphy drills and practice strokes, I shared tips and tricks to make writing in calligraphy better and more enjoyable. As I would always say, ‘Practice Makes Pretty’—as we were not aiming for perfection but legible letter forms and good composition. We laughed at ink smudges, and cheered on each other’s progress.
We also enjoyed Street Kohi’s specialty coffee and pastries.
