3 creative workshops to choose from
with practical takeaways
Most of us came up with a signature in middle school. And kept it.
This is a chance to refine how you sign your name and make it feel more like you.
Using a smooth-writing pen, we'll work through your first letter, flow, and finish—with plenty of experimentation and fun along the way, including a round of Guess that Celebrity Signature.
You'll leave with:
a signature style that feels natural and recognizable
practical ways to use it for personal branding and everyday communication
a refillable pen and take-home signature guide
No artistic experience needed. Just a few intentional strokes for a lasting impression.
Duration: 1-1.5 hours
Ideal for team experiences, leadership retreats, client events, and conference breakouts,
Comments from ...
A bank manager: "I always notice people's signatures at my branch, it's a great conversation starter!"
An investor and business leader: "I've been thinking about my signature for personal branding."
An author: "I wish I had seen this two weeks ago!" (Before her book signing.)
Handwriting does things typing can't.
It clarifies your thinking and creates a sense of connection people can actually feel.
In this workshop, we'll use a glass pen and ink to find a smoother, more intentional writing experience. We'll explore styles designed to be both expressive and easy for anyone to read (even if they don't know cursive).
You’ll leave with:
a smoother writing flow
practical techniques you can immediately use
a handwritten note—ready to share
a take-home glass pen, ink, stationery set, and practice guide
No drills. No pressure. Just a better experience of writing you can actually use in notes, journals, whiteboards, and other everyday communication.
Duration: 1.5 hours
Ideal for team experiences, professional development, corporate retreats, and more.

A professor: "I always write feedback in the margins of student essays. It wasn't until the end of the semester that I found out they can't read my handwriting. They were just too embarrassed to tell me."
A Chief Revenue Officer: "I don't think I'll ever forget the time I sat in my seat and received a handwritten note by the captain." (Upon flying more than a million miles with the airline.)
Screens can leave us drained.
This workshop offers a hands-on reset—a chance to clear the mind and return focused.
Using a dip pen and ink, we'll explore the art of calligraphy from classic Copperplate to modern styles. We'll even see a few surprising places calligraphy shows up (movies, wine, hot dogs?!)
You'll leave with:
a sense of calm focus and creative energy
foundational calligraphy skills and guided practice materials
a take-home pen holder, nib, & ink
a finished card to keep or share
No artistic background or “good handwriting” required—just a willingness to slow down and explore.
Duration: 1.5 hours
Ideal for team experiences, wellness initiatives, corporate retreats, creative workshops, and more.
Optional: brush lettering pens available
Comments from ...
A writer: "I use a few minutes of calligraphy practice to find a 'flow state' before turning to my computer. It helps me prepare for productive thinking."
A doctor: "Just finished a research trial on the effects of calligraphy training on mental health. Mind blown at the results." (Report coming soon.)
"Connection is more than a wellness issue.
"When people feel like they belong, they drive innovation, loyalty, and impact."
Why handwriting and calligraphy?
A handwriting experience isn’t just different—it’s something people feel and use.
And that’s what makes it stick.
Build real connection — step away from screens and connect with intention.
Reset and focus — a rare pause that clears the mind and lowers the noise.
Make it memorable — skills they'll use, not just another activity people forget by Monday.
Your team or clients will come away recharged, with a stronger sense of self, team, and brand.
