Sip and Script calligraphy is the art of pretty letter writing.
Kenita, a friend I met at a 2018 NYC blogger meetup, recommended a SIp and Script calligraphy class. I usually share events with her since she visits the Lancaster County area. This time she informed me about Sip and Script.
I was unfamiliar with Sip and Script, so the Instagram link gave the classes’ details by state. Does anyone remember taking penmanship or cursive writing classes as a child in elementary school? I knew calligraphy was a fancy form of scripting, as in the pretty letter writing on wedding invitation envelopes.
There is a difference between cursive writing and calligraphy.
1. Cursive uses a flowing style to make writing faster.
2. Cursive is generally straightforward.
3. Cursive letters always connect.
4. Calligraphy is a discipline, while cursive is a skill.
Two-Boston-based wedding calligraphers turned their passion into Sip and Script in 2015. It’s worth noting that calligraphy roots came from ancient China.
The $70 class provided the following:
1.5 hours of hands-on training
Caligraphy supplies include practice materials, nibs, and ink.
Looking for a girl’s outing, planning a wedding, or wanting to personalize your thank you’s or any written correspondence? Sip and Script is a beautiful way to express yourself.
Calligraphy means beautiful writing and comes from the Greek word beauty. The Sip and Script beginner’s class provided plenty of scripting in our six-person class—the class location at Cubby’s Ice Cream Shoppe in Hummesltown, PA.
In an age of e-mails, texts, and tweets, it’s refreshing to slow down and enjoy the lost art of writing. The next time I need to send a thank you, I plan to get out my personalized stationery and try calligraphy.
