Creative Workshops

Transform your passion into purpose with the Creative Workshops from Happy Hands Project. While there are no upcoming workshops at the moment, we invite you to explore the world of modern calligraphy and brush lettering—two art forms that blend timeless elegance with a contemporary twist.

Our signature workshops, taught by founder Pauline, are perfect for calligraphy beginners and experienced artists alike. We provide a fun and engaging space to learn the fundamental techniques of hand lettering, helping you create beautiful, flowing script with ease. From mastering the delicate strokes of pointed pen calligraphy to creating bold, expressive designs with a brush, you’ll gain the skills to elevate your craft.

Join our community of creatives and stay inspired. Be the first to know about new workshops, exclusive projects, and creative tips by signing up for our newsletter. Don’t miss out on your chance to learn this beautiful art form.

Here’s a sneak peek at what went on in the last workshop.

I will also be making announcements on Facebook and Instagram so feel free to follow along. Hope to see you in the next class!

When was the last time you wrote a letter to yours When was the last time you wrote a letter to yourself? 💌 
 
During ou workshop, everyone received these pretty Cafe Mary Grace greeting cards. The prompt was simple: write something heartfelt. It could be for a loved one, or a message for your future self. 
 
I decided to write to my future self for this demo. No need for perfection, just enjoying the ink touching the paper, especially when the paper is this smooth. 
 
Save this for the next time you need a reminder to slow down and check in with yourself. 🤍

A slow afternoon well spent. 🤍    I recently taugh A slow afternoon well spent. 🤍 
 
I recently taught the very first workshop for @cafemarygrace ‘s Art of Slow series at their gorgeous Parqal Mall branch. Instead of worrying about perfect technical form, we focused entirely on intention, mindful creation, and embracing the simple joys of slow living. 
 
The afternoon culminated in everyone writing a heartfelt letter to themselves or someone they love, finished with a traditional wax seal. ✉️✨ 
 
To cap off the experience, we treated our senses to Mary Grace’s delicious new menu additions: the Vigan Longganiza Pasta, refreshing Lemon Basil Soda, and their delicious Mango Mousse. 
 
Thank you to everyone who paused their busy days to create with us. Here’s to more moments of slowing down.

This time I’m trying it out with my Pilot parallel pen and On Ink’s ‘turon’. We Filipinos like lumpia and turon is a version of it that’s filled with brown sugar, jackfruit strips and sweet plantain bananas (called ‘saba’ bananas locally). 😊

French Ronde practice with new inks ✨ I got two French Ronde practice with new inks ✨ 
 
I got two new inks from @inksbyvinta during the @manilapenshow. Haribon turned out to be a desaturated version of lavender, kind of like its introverted sister. It’s a beauty and I love it. The shimmer didn’t show up on the Rhodia pad, so I have to try it on a different kind of paper. 
 
Makopa, on the other hand, is loud and screams ‘main character’. It’s mostly a bright magenta when used with a broad nib. It reminds me of the fruits from our makopa tree we had when I was a kid. 🩷
