What my students are saying

(take me back to the workshops page)

Just a quick note to thank you very much for a wonderful, entertaining and educational calligraphy class.  I as well as my mom and aunt had nothing but glowing remarks and compliments on our drive home that evening. Your encouraging assistance went a long way to making it enjoyable as well as very educational in teaching a wonderful art and skill.  We all intend to hone in our skills and practice, practice, practice.  Hopefully one day we can revisit and take a refresher course. Until such time, thank you again for all your help, patience and teaching techniques.

Angi is my favorite and most inspirational calligrapher! I took both the Beginner’s Calligraphy class & Intermediate Calligraphy class with Angi after seeing her work on Instagram! She is a natural teacher, as she takes time to explain her methods/technique and will also make sure she gives constructive criticism so that you can actually learn and improve! Since taking her classes, I have been receiving many compliments about how my calligraphy has been progressing. She will walk around and is intentional about taking a look at all of her students’ work. For the intermediate class, she purposefully made it a smaller class to devote more individual attention to each of her students. Most of all, she is a great and friendly person who always smiles and is very encouraging. I would recommend her classes to anyone who is seeking to learn or improve!

This was the first workshop I have ever attended. I really didn’t know what to expect, but I left Angi’s Intro to Calligraphy Workshop feeling incredibly inspired. I have occasionally practiced calligraphy at home through self taught, but having Angi at my side made a world difference. Not only did she praised me during my work, but she corrected how I was holding the pen and provided constructive feedback on my work. It was really nice to learn about calligraphy basics and most importantly, I learned things about myself I didn’t know I was capable of doing. I just wished I had more time practicing at the workshop! After taking the class, I am much more motivated to practice at home and will definitely consider taking her intermediate course next year! Thank you for your inspiration Angi!

Great, great class and we had so much fun! Today, as I review my materials and what I learned yesterday, I realize this is an art form that I want to pursue more deeply and work to become excellent. Angie’s class is not one of intimidation, but an avenue of confidence building. She makes it look easy and shows you the possibilities with practice, practice, practice. I’m craving ink and nib time now!I In a world of constant distraction, engaging in pen, brain and hand coordination, is a calming and beautiful gift.

I was thrilled to open up my Christmas present to find a registration ticket for Angi’s beginner’s workshop.  I eagerly anticipated the day set aside for me to enjoy a long time hobby.  I was not disappointed.  Angi was super sweet, warm in her interactions, excited about the instruction, wise in her advice, and encouraging our meager attempts to enter the beautiful art form of calligraphy.  Her tools were lovely and a great resource for us to use as we continue our practice.  The pace of instruction was appropriate and we all walked away with a piece that we created while at the shop.  I wanted to day to linger on, but I’ve enjoyed following her on FB and Instagram to keep me motivated to work at my skill and style.  Thank you, Angi.  You are inspirational!

Angi is definitely an expert at her craft. She was so thoughtful in showing us each step and then coming around and working with us one on one. I learned so much from her and was grateful to learn her technique hands-on in a fun and educational way with the best tools. I can’t stop practicing! Thanks Angi!

The best calligraphy workshop i have ever taken by far! Angie has excellent communication skills and a commanding knowledge of her craft. On top of that she is a true artist. I learned so much from this workshop...far more than i did from a workshop given by a different well known calligrapher in fact. I felt encouraged to practice and in doing so i could almost hear some of the gentle reminders i learned. I highly recommend this workshop.

This workshop was exactly what I needed in order to help me hone in my constant itch to do more with handwritten script. I’ve always been interested in calligraphy, and have purchased books, pens, nibs and other fun supplies to kickstart my enthusiasm. But there really is nothing as good as having someone stand over you, showing you the proper way to hold the pen staff, support you in understanding pressure & release and allowing you the freedom to bring your own style into the mix. Angi was perfect at all those things and more. It’s safe to say that I’ve spent hours practicing since the class on a daily basis! I can’t wait to take the intermediate workshop with Angi soon and have her help me out as I continue my journey in calligraphy! Thank you times a million!

Angi’s class was highly recommended to me and it did not disappoint. Not only is she a talented calligrapher and a patient teacher, she is extremely personable, witty and charming to boot. She gave very clear, easy to understand instructions for an art form that relies on extreme precision and technique. She treated each student with the utmost attention, walking around constantly to each one of us to correct, improve and demonstrate her craft. Additionally, her attention to detail is impressive. It was hard not to catch my breath when I walked in to find the most stunning tablescape with all the calligraphy swag. In fact, she was so prepared that she even included a separate pen for me to use because I’m a lefty! Angi made learning calligraphy fun and approachable and her teaching style and artistry are traits to be envied. Thank you, Angi!

I wish I could give her 10 stars! :) I attended one of Angi’s beginner workshops after my boyfriend gifted me with it for my birthday. I’d never tried calligraphy before and didn’t really know what to expect, but it was SO FUN! Not only is she a talented creative and an excellent teacher (very patient!), but the workshop was such an enjoyable and fun way to spend a day! I left feeling inspired to keep practicing and trying on my own and am looking forward to trying her intermediate workshop next. I highly highly highly recommend Angelique, Ink!

I absolutely loved going to the Beginner Calligraphy Class. First of all, not being artistic, I was terrified I would be very bad at calligraphy. I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did Angi the instructor make me feel at ease, she also explained everything in a very easy to understand way. From the basics of understanding the typography, to doing the drills to get accustomed to the feel of the pointed pen, I felt like the class flew by. I learned so much more than I thought.With a little more practice I can’t wait to take her Intermediate class. I cannot express how much fun and enjoyable learning with her was.

This was my first workshop class for anything and the experience was very lovely! It is easy to go online and find tutorials to learn new hobbies/activities but being in a class setting is completely different.
There were many basic skills that I realized I haven’t achieved yet so this class was a great foundation to start on. The class is an intimate size and Angi is great at making sure everyone is getting personal attention and feedback.
I look forward to taking a few more of her workshops in the future.
I just wish I had found her earlier for wedding invites!
