Pen-Hut!

Paper Emporium's Calligraphy Workshop

Listen up, penmen!

Once you enlist in Paper Emporium’s calligraphy workshop, you’ll be expected to renounce disastrous civilian fonts. On four Tuesday evenings (June 9-30), you’ll learn the time-honored art of fine hand lettering. None of that namby-pamby Times New Roman typing! We clear?

Yes, sir!

All trainees will report to expert calligrapher Monica Mirones, a decorated member of the South Florida Calligraphy Guild as well as other national writing organizations.

Yes, sir!

Stroke! Upper case. Stroke! Lower case. Any chicken scratch?

No, sir!

Damn straight. You’ll be inscribing historically rich Copperplate, the font of our beloved Declaration of Independence. All materials will be provided for you. By the time you complete training, you should be able to design and pen your own short quote or inspirational verse with ease.

Now, write on!

Classes will be held June 9-30, Tuesdays, 7-9 p.m., at Paper Emporium, 231 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables. To reserve your spot, call 305-445-7090 or e-mail paperemporium@bellsouth.net.
