Doodling is more than just casual scribbling—it’s a powerful tool for boosting creativity, improving focus, and reducing stress.

Whether you’re listening during a meeting, brainstorming ideas, or simply passing the time, doodling encourages a relaxed state that can lead to new insights and problem-solving breakthroughs. Additionally, it’s an accessible and enjoyable activity that requires no special skills, making it a perfect way to stay mentally energized and creatively inspired in everyday life.

Come learn the beautiful calligraphic style of copperplate script! In this course we will go over a concise version of its history and learn to use dip pens in order to form the basic strokes of its construction. This course is geared towards beginners but those with more experience may attend it as a refresher course and I do my best to teach to the level of each individual in the second half of the course (plus it’s always nice to have experienced attendees help). The course is $89 for the 3 hours and includes all the tools (nibs, holders, papers, handouts). Attendees are welcome to bring their own supplies for use if they wish. I also encourage attendees to bring a pencil and ruler with them.
