Deco/Creative Journaling with DB. Would love to improve my handwriting and learn more creative ways to journal.
Would love to be able to attend pen materials!
Creating cards with aloha is sure to include flowers and good vibes.
I would attend the Fountain Pen 101 workshop; fountain pens and inks are becoming a really fun pursuit for me.
I would attend the “Exploring Inks in Unique Ways”, it sounds like it would have a lot of fun ideas to add to an ink journal and currently inked list.
I would like to attend the Fountain Pen 101. Though I’m familiar with fountain pens, I’m always willing to learn more.
The workshop on creative Journaling looks really interesting to me.
Calligraphy 101 interests me most, and fortunately, I am all signed up for it (and a couple of others).
I will definitely try to att3nd the calligraphy seminar. The whole reason of collecting and using my oens is to learn creative and beautiful writing so slowly but surely trying to improve my penmanship since it was cut off from me during my 3rd grade elementary sad sad
I would attend the creative journaling seminar! I love journaling, and learning new ways to do so is very interesting to me.
I would do the Q&A with the Atlas brothers because I think it is so interesting to learn about running a family business and doing what you love. My second choice would be the calligraphy workshop.
I would love to attend the ink workshop. I’ve been tied to black and blue inks so a workshop expanding that viewpoint with other ink uses would be awesome!
My husband and I are going to go to the “In-Depth Exploration of Pen Materials with Ryan Sirignano”. He is crafty and wants to see more into the pen making part of things. There is a tree at the house where he grew up and it is going to be chopped down soon. And we are going to see if we can make a couple of pens from it to remember his parents that have passed.
I’d be interested in Calligraphy 101! It is something I’ve been curious about but haven’t had the chance to learn.
I would for sure take the Calligraphy 101 course. I also appreciate that the pricing for the workshop is affordable. Sometimes going to events and workshops the price range is so high that it makes me second guess if I should even attend that particular workshop. Thank you for taking so much time and effort in planning such a wide array or workshops!
I would pick the Q&A with the Atlas Bros because I haven’t met y’all yet!
