Between Paint Nite Parties and Adult Coloring Books, it’s clear that artistic expression is an outlet for lots of women. I started following these calligraphy accounts on Instagram recently. More than I care to admit. I watch the videos and find them soothing to watch and am amazed at the beautiful letter formations that look so easy. I love written language, a hand written note, vocabulary and phrases. I also love the look (and feel and smell) of pens and markers! Here’s an article on why art is good for the brain: https://bebrainfit.com/the-health-benefits-of-art-are-for-everyone/
The other day, I regrammed/reposted a phrase that I have always loved. That night before going to sleep, I checked my comments and learned about this Calligraphy Basics Workshop, being held later this month in White Plains. Not only White Plains, in a brand new space that I just visited for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It’s called KOI Creative Space and it’s a co-working space right on Mamaroneck Avenue.
