an amazing class last night.

Your class and studio were so informative

I look forward to the next class!" - Mike M.

a welcoming & informative host. I especially loved your

excited to learn & experience your craft. Thank you." - Nanci

"Thanks for a great class yesterday. I left excited & inspired
to keep practicing! As a fellow teacher, I wanted to tell you
that your style of instruction & overall approach is as
informative as it is enjoyable. I'm so impressed by
the resources and encouragement you provide your students.
So obviously, I signed up for another class!" - Katie R.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I had such a wonderful time
at your calligraphy workshop!
I'm excited to get some new pens and paper today.
The class absolutely lovely,
and I so enjoyed taking a break
from my usual routine to learn more about lettering,
and to tap into being creative!
So excited to practice today!
Your class and studio space were awesome!
Thank you again for hosting!!" - Kate K.

"Hey Liz! I took one of your classes
6 or 8 months back with my girlfriend Sandy
and our friend Nicole.
I've been working hard on lettering
ever since your class
and have absolutely fallen in love with it.
It's become a part of my every day life.
I've spent a lot of time learning blackletter and fraktur,
but thanks to your class,
I've also come a long way with cursive
and whimsical styles.
I recently landed my first wedding envelopes gig...
Thank you for all of your teaching and inspiration.
You've helped me discover a lifelong passion and hobby."
- Jake R.

"Thanks so much, Liz!! I had such a great time last night.
That was the best $$ I've spent in a long time!!
You gave me the tools and direction to start practicing...
something I've always wanted to do,
but wasn't quite sure where to begin.
You have a gift for teaching and knowing
beginners would want to know about!!
Thanks again!" - Marianne

"Thank you so much for such a special afternoon yesterday.
I literally went to bed dreaming about letters
and woke up with letters on my brain!
I spent a lot of time as a kid doodling bubble
and block letters and making up my own crazy
letter shapes. So learning calligraphy is bringing back
some really fun childhood memories
of holding a pen to paper.
I practiced last night and was amazed at the progress
from just a couple of hours.
I'm excited to continue learning and have fun with it.
Can't wait to take your next class.
Thanks for sharing your love of lettering.
It is inspiring!" - Julie F.

"Last night was great!
I was nice to do something relaxing
after a stressful day of work.
Hopefully, I get better and can do it for
my wedding. Thank you so much
for sharing your talent! "
- Sia H.

"Just wanted to let you know
what a great time I had at your class!
It was something I had tried a couple of times,
but having your instruction
definitely took it to the next level.
Also, thank you for the materials you sent along
and being so candid with your process.
You are amazingly talented and
hope that you have continued
success with your studio.
I'm definitely going to take another class
with you down the road." - Melissa V.

"Thank YOU!
I already started collecting inspirational images
and made a trip to the art store today!
I just loved your class, it was so much fun
and I learned so much.
You have a wonderful energy and your love
for calligraphy is contagious and inspiring...
I love that you encouraged experimenting
and having fun and you have a relaxed,
open approach. You offered so many
great and useful suggestions and
I really appreciated that you were well prepared,
and showed us your style
and sat down and wrote next to us.
You are a natural teacher,
and I feel lucky to have found you
and been able to take a class from you.
Thank you also for your hospitality,
from the tea and cookies, to the pens you gave us.
If you decide to offer further classes,
PLEASE let me know." - Cheryl

"Thank you so much for today,
it was the most fun I've had in a while!
I'm a data analyst/programmer,
so I'm always looking for
creative outlets and I'm delighted
to add calligraphy as one of them." - Vivian L.

"Thank you so much for these awesome resources!!
Your class yesterday was amazing, I had so much fun.
I think I've become calligraphy obsessed!
I went home yesterday and practiced for a few hours,
and even put together a Pinterest board of different
styles that caught my eye for inspiration.
I really like the idea of developing my own style
and seeing what happens. Thanks again Liz!" - Jessica

"We loved tonite!!!! Thank you for your time and talent!!
You have a wonderful and warm teaching style."
- Pam & daughter Jyllian

"Thanks so much for a great class on Sunday-- I loved it!
I am so excited to use my pens and ink
and practice, practice, practice so my writing improves
and no longer looks like chicken scratch!
Your work is truly inspirational,
and your enthusiasm for calligraphy is infectious."
- Shannon J.

"Thanks so much for sending this along
and for an amazing class last night.
I really had such a great time and even the
company of the other people taking the class
was excellent.
I'm looking forward to practicing,
picking up some supplies
and following up with the intermediate class."
- Katelyn

"Thank you so very much for the fantastic class
yesterday! I have always wanted to learn calligraphy
and planned on taking your class since last year,
so I was very happy to finally take it. It was a lot of fun
and informative and I just LOVE your artwork! " - Yoko

"I recently took an intro to calligraphy workshop with Liz.
The North End studio is cute and fun.
Liz had some great tips for beginners.
I left the 2-hour class (which flew by!)
excited to practice more on my own
and with an added appreciation for the time and work
calligraphers put into their work.
This would be a fun outing
to do with a couple girlfriends."
- Lisa G. (via Yelp review)

"Hello! I took your class just after Thanksgiving
and just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it
and also to say "thank you!" because it helped me
with a Christmas present too!
My grandma is 87 years old and has advanced dementia,
so I was clueless about what to get her.
She doesn't really have any hobbies or do a whole lot,
but my sister-in-law suggested
I put my new lettering skills to use
make her something to look at.
My grandma always loved listening to The Messiah
during the Christmas season,
so I chose some text from that work.
I gave it to her yesterday.
She hardly put it down the whole time we were there
and showing her caregiver
and proudly announcing "my granddaughter made this!"
Thanks for sharing your knowledge

"I've always wanted to learn the art of calligraphy
and I was looking at Liz's website admiring her work
when I realized she
offers calligraphy classes at her studio in the North End.
Her studio is adorable
and is certainly a space that fosters creativity.
I learned so much!
All supplies -- ink, nibs, stylus, and paper were included.
Liz took it one step further
and she provided us with practice sheets,
lots of grids to help, and font "maps" to help us...
It was totally awesome and Liz was a great teacher.
Her work is awesome and she was great to work with.
If you're interested in learning more about calligraphy,
or if you need a calligrapher,
definitely get in touch with Liz to learn more."
- Katie C. (via Yelp review)

"Liz, It was such a pleasure to meet you
and have the opportunity to learn your craft!
You have an amazing business going and
have such talent! You are such an inspiration
and the girls and I (I speak for all of us-
I was gushing about the class Saturday and
it sold Irene and Nikki!) are in love
with our take away assignments!
We are taking a few weeks to practice
and will then have a group practice night
to see what we can learn from one another!
The hope is that we all get this down
and can progress to your next class!
Thank you for a great starting point!"
- Angela

"It was wonderful meeting you on Saturday!
I thoroughly enjoyed your class!!!
Honestly, everything about it was perfect...
I wouldn't change a thing. You inspired me
to try new things and to play around
with different fonts and styles.
I loved your gift ideas too.
This weekend, I made a birthday card
for my mother - in - law
instead of buying one and it was a big hit!
Thanks so much for your inspiration!" - Lori S.
