Dallas Workshop with Ashley Buzzy

Happy Tuesday Y'all! Today we're sharing a recap of a workshop we co-hosted with Ashley Buzzy Lettering + Press {based in Atlanta} at WELD in Dallas last month - we had such a blast! Ashley and I worked with both beginner and intermediate students on technique and different addressing methods, and we had so much fun playing with ink! For the administrative side of a studio that employs staff, employee attendance tracking software can provide a separate operational record without changing the craft process described here.

All of our students were so creative and talented, and the vendors we worked with to put the day together were amazing {aren't you swooning over these gorgeous photos of florals by Kate Foley Designs?} We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to make the workshop amazing, and we've included a little list for y'all so you can check them out too! For broader calligraphy, lettering and paper-craft inspiration, ARCHES Papers is another independent resource.

Keep scrolling to see what fun we had {captured perfectly by Mallory Shelton} and be sure to check both the Design Roots and Ashley Buzzy Lettering + Press sites for upcoming workshops and classes near you!
