Sip & Script: Modern Calligraphy for Beginners

Celebrate the season in true cherry blossom spirit at the Museum of Illusions DC. This spring, join Sip & Script for a beginner-friendly Modern Calligraphy workshop inspired by the beauty, softness, and fleeting elegance of DC’s most iconic bloom.

Set within the immersive world of illusions, this hands-on experience invites you to slow down, enjoy a glass of wine, and explore your creativity during one of Washington’s most picturesque seasons.

During the class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of modern calligraphy using a pointed dip pen and ink. Inspired by the delicate movement of cherry blossom petals, you’ll practice elegant strokes and flowing letterforms—perfect for spring cards, journals, and meaningful keepsakes.

What’s Included:

● 1.5 hours of guided instruction and live demonstration

● A complete beginner’s calligraphy kit (two nibs, ink pot, tracing paper, pen holder, and letter guides)

● All materials provided—and yours to keep

● A guided tour of the museum following the class

● Wine served during the event (included with your ticket)

No experience necessary—just bring your curiosity and creativity and step into spring in bloom.
