    Great class! Kelly was a phenomenal teacher, giving us the basics of grip and letter formation, previewing possible pitfalls, and walking us through things step by step with great modeling. After we learned the basics, she let us lead the way by giving us lots of options and providing explicit feedback as needed. I came right home and practiced some more!

    Kelly has a wonderful presence and teaching style. I have struggled on my own in the past while trying to learn this art, but with Kelly's expert skill I now understand pen placement, angle of the pen to the paper, pressure of the nib on the upstroke and downstroke on the paper, and ink flow from the nib. We learned nib parts such as the tines, vent hole and how far to dip the nib into the ink well to get the flow result of the ink onto the paper. This class was a truly wonderful experience. I found myself completely focused and presence to the point the 2 hours passed quickly and ended to soon. We had a wonderful group of delightful and thoughtful class mates. Thank you Kelly for a terrific class and for sharing your significant knowledge.

    The class was wonderful and I highly recommend it if you are looking to try your hand at calligraphy. The materials provided were incredibly helpful and Kelly was sweet and willing to provide as much guidance as worked with your learning style.

    This class was so much fun even for somebody who doesn't have good handwriting. The instructions and practice was definitely worth it and I plan to keep practicing. If you're looking for something fun to do or to learn something new I'd highly recommend taking this class.

    I enjoyed my experience taking Modern Calligraphy. The class was well organized and the instructor was very kind and helpful. I am inspired to keep working on technique and hopefully one day master the art of calligraphy.

    Kelly was a great teacher! Walking in, she had the table set with instructional packets, ink wells, and adorable pouches with our supplies. She also made each of us a pretty little name card. It was nice to walk in and see such a lovely set-up, really set the mood for the class. Kelly talked us through the basics of calligraphy, including the best way to hold the pen and the angles we should work with, and gave us the freedom to move on at our own paces. She also was great about answering all our questions. Would definitely recommend this class!

    Kelly's Modern Calligraphy class was wonderful! She hosted it at the River North Workshop on a large table in the back of the room. There were 7 of us in the class and it didn't feel crowded. Kelly had all the supplies needed plus a cute little pouch to store our calligraphy pens in. She taught at a slow pace which was perfect for beginners (like me)! She had instructions, workbooks, and practice sheets for us. We learned the entire alphabet - lower and uppercase and had time to practice writing words and sentences. She had tasty snacks and encouraged everyone to bring wine or a drink. It was a laid back, fun class and I hope she hosts another!

    Such a fun night! It was the perfect balance of learning, laughing, and inspiration for a girls' night out. I left with the cutest pouch filled with everything I need to practice my skills and a few new tricks and tips that will make my writing projects so much more fun and successful in the future. Thank you so much, Kelly! You are wonderful!
