My First Sip & Script Calligraphy Class at Akash Winery – Cheers to a Night of Creativity & Wine! 🍷🖋

Temecula Riverside Calligraphy Class

You know that feeling when you try something new, and it turns out to be even better than you imagined? That was exactly what happened at my very first Sip & Script calligraphy class at Akash Winery! ✨

I’ve been a calligrapher and engraver for a while now, but this was my first time officially teaching with Sip & Script, and let me tell you—it was an absolute BLAST! Gorgeous vineyard views, a fabulous group of people, and, of course, amazing wine… I couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off this new adventure!

The Perfect Vibe at Akash Winery 🍇

If you’ve never been to Akash Winery, do yourself a favor and go ASAP. This place is STUNNING. Think: rolling vineyards, delicious wine, and the kind of ambiance that makes you want to sip, stay, and soak it all in.

Sips, Strokes & Ink Smudges (Oops!) 😆

We kicked things off with a little intro to modern calligraphy—how to hold the pen, getting the ink to flow (which can be a thing at first!), and practicing those first swoopy strokes. For a lot of guests, this was their first time ever trying calligraphy, but they totally crushed it!

There were lots of “Omg, this is so relaxing!” moments, a few “Wait, how did this ink blob happen?” giggles, and even some unexpectedly impressive natural talents in the group! I loved seeing everyone’s confidence grow with each letter—plus, wine makes everything better, right? 😉

Wine + Calligraphy = The Best Combo Ever 🍷✍️

One of my favorite things about teaching calligraphy is how chill and therapeutic it is. It’s literallty the perfect excuse to slow down, get a little artsy, and just enjoy the process. Add a glass of wine and it’s the ultimate self-care night out!
