Aaaand, I’m back!<\/p>\n
Last Sunday I hosted my Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Workshop at A Work Of Heart in San Jose again after a short break for my maternity leave.<\/p>\n
We had a few last minute additions plus I messed up with the alarm at the shop when I got there so my whole morning before the workshop got a little chaotic! Yes, as crazy as it sounds I made the alarm went on and even some neighbors came to see what was happening but everything was ok! Thank Goodness Andrea -owner of the studio- arrived just then and solved the crazy situation! I was imagining myself trying to explain everything to the cops, that would have been some even crazier anecdote to share!<\/p>\n
Anyway, I had to set up and organized everything faster than expected so I run out of time and I couldn’t do live videos or take more pictures of the behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
But I tell you a little bit about it now and you’ll just have to believe me and imagine some things because… not many pictures!<\/p>\n
Since it’s almost July, I thought about doing a “summery” theme and what says more summer<\/em> than the sea<\/em>, right? So I got some turquoise pen holders, I wrote the name of the students on shells and I brought a decor fishing net and even more shells to decorate the table. F or snacks, this time I brought some pastries as usual plus watermelon… THE fruit for the summer, right? And even though I never recommend to drink caffeinated beverages before doing calligraphy, I went against my own advice and brought some cold frapuccinos for my students. Guys, it was like a great addition for this “summer Sunday morning” theme.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I also gave them some map paper, which is also in the summer\/travel theme and I found these little glass bottles with cork stoppers for the ink that was like a “message in a bottle” kind of thing. Super cute!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next workshop date? July 22nd at 10am<\/p>\n Where? A Work Of Heart Studio in San Jose, CA.<\/p>\n
