Wedding Calligraphy Workshop is a 3-hour dive into the best practices and methods for being a successful wedding calligrapher with Nicole Black. Did you ever wonder – how did she do that? How many envelopes should I be writing a day? How many nibs should I be using? How do you make a wedding invitation ready for print? How should I set up my desk when working on a project? How do you keep from spilling your ink? How should I price my work? Should I have a business and what does setting up a business look like? What should I say to….? And most importantly, How long does ink take to dry? – This class will cover all of that and more. While this is mostly a discussion workshop (break out those pretty notebooks!), please come prepared with your favorite pen holder, nib and ink as we will be doing a small bit of writing and skill building. Please also bring your questions as this will be interactive and Nicole will do her best to infuse you with her years of knowledge.
