We will cover all the basics and prepare you to add those unique lettered details to your snail mail, wedding paper goods, home decor, and more! The perfect crafty night out!

Class includes 1.5 hours of instruction and demonstration, our beginner’s calligraphy kit (two nibs, black ink pot, 2 letter guides, tracing paper, and straight pen holder), and all materials to write on. Everything is yours to keep at the end of the workshop!

Check out their website and say hey on Instagram to learn more about Little Seeds.

What to Expect

So you’ve heard about making a registry, taking birthing classes and prenatal yoga, and “nesting” - why isn’t anyone talking about what it means to become a parent (or a parent of multiples)? Too often, we overlook parents’ needs as we prepare to welcome our new little ones to the world. Join with therapists Jess Garman and Abby Shah, as well as other expecting parents, to prepare for how this transition may impact you. From guidance for planning rest, meals, and infant feeding support, to tackling what it means to find a new sense of identity for yourself and for you and your partner as parts, we’ll talk about the parents of “expecting” that often go undiscussed!
