Thursday, September 3, 2026

10am - 12pm

We are so excited to welcome artist Mary Burdette of Love, Louise Designs to the porch at La Poste for a relaxing and educational morning learning the beautiful art of calligraphy as we create hand-written cards to take home!

In this very beginner-friendly workshop, Mary will guide us through the basics of hand lettering and calligraphy using simple tools to create beautiful projects for your gatherings and parties utilizing this age-old technique! Good handwriting is not a prerequisite to create beautiful, modern calligraphy using a brush pen!

Mary will help us design custom place cards or simple name cards to help us further our practice. All materials will be provided for attendees to take home: Pentel brush pen, a personalized calligraphy guide with alphabet and flourish tutorial, practice sheets, and blank place cards.

Wine will also be served, of course!
