About this Event
From Thrifted to Unfiltered
A calligraphy workshop with a sassy twist

As seen on Etsy. Now make your own.

You know those hilariously sassy, beautifully hand-lettered plates that keep popping up all over Etsy?

The ones that make you stop scrolling and think, “I need that.”

Well… let’s make one.

We’ll start with the pretty stuff: learning the basics of calligraphy and getting comfortable with the lettering techniques you’ll use to create your plate. You’ll practice your strokes, play with lettering, and learn how to make your words look effortlessly gorgeous, even if you’ve never picked up a calligraphy pen before.

And because we want you to keep the fun going, your calligraphy take-home kit is included. Practice at home, make more pretty things, or just impress your friends with your newfound fancy-lettering skills.

Then comes the best part.

The plate.

You’ll start with a thrifted plate and transform it into the kind of cheeky, clever, slightly unhinged statement piece you’ve been seeing all over Etsy.

Choose a phrase that makes you laugh.
Something sarcastic.
Something sassy.
Something you probably wouldn’t put on your grandmother’s china.

Or something that simply needs to be said.

And here's the good news: you do NOT have to be a lettering artist to make something fabulous.

You’ll have a selection of fun phrases and templates to choose from, which you can use to transfer your design onto your plate before lettering it. Want to flex those newfound calligraphy muscles and freehand your phrase? Go for it! Prefer a little creative insurance? The templates have got you.

Either way, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind piece that looks like something you’d happily snag while scrolling Etsy, but this time, you made it yourself.

Your ticket includes:

• A fun, beginner-friendly calligraphy workshop
• Your own calligraphy take-home kitA thrifted plate to transform
• All supplies needed to complete your project
• A selection of phrases and templates to help you create your design
• Step-by-step instruction and creative guidance
• Your very own hand-lettered, sassy statement plate

No calligraphy experience necessary. No artistic genius required. We’ll walk you through it all.

Come for the calligraphy.
Stay for the sass.
Leave with a plate that has something to say.

And fair warning: you may leave class already planning the next five plates you’re going to make.

Grab your bestie, bring your sense of humor, and come turn something thrifted into something completely unfiltered.
