Pieces Calligraphy 
I want to learn how to do brush lettering. I find that I apply too much pressure (years of pen & ink), or that the pressure changes. Your lettering is perfect. I’m in Benicia in No. Cal. Sacramento is close enough for me to attend a workshop. I’m hoping you can accommodate beginners.
Thank you,
Cathy

I am always hunting for local workshops to improve my lettering and would love the opportunity to learn from you! I feel like I have the basics of brush lettering down – I’m looking for help fine-tuning what I’ve taught myself (and picked up from you on IG!). I would also like to learn more about the tools and different mediums one can use, I have a few different pens and have worked with watercolors and inks but know there are so many other options I’m not even aware of. I’m in Napa and am psyched you’re so close — please, please, please do a workshop!

I’ve been a huge huge fan of your work, so you can just imagine my excitement when I realized you were located in Sac! (Currently Sacto doesnt have any modern calligraphy workshops…)The only workshop i’ve been to was BrownFox’s in SF but that’s a tad bit too far. Sac’s really close by so i’m hoping to come and take a workshop with you on brush callig! I find that my upstrokes always tend to be too strong

Now second point if business! Im going to figure how to open my brush pens and refill them because i need a place to catch all my tears for not getting to attend a workshop. Even if i could make the drive from So-Cal to Sacramento( is along drive for my issues right now) if i could even get anywhere close to the tution, it is already sold out. I am very bummed about missing the Pieces Inaugural Workshop 😭😭😭.
* adding a note here!* as you remember from the IG discussion the other day, there is a group of us So-CAL-igraphers trying to get some meetups together & potentially having Pieces Calligraphy make a guest appearance😉😉 We must have dreams right?
Enough of my rambling, i have been realky sick and cold meds make me super chatty my wife was pointing out today, i am so proud of your accomplishments as well as being a part of the process since early. I know i have said before, but As i have said before Sharisse, you have been and are a huge inspiration to me and one of the biggest factors of my process.
