Calligraphy with Margot G.

Hello there! I am a professional calligrapher with 20 years of experience as a tutor, mentor, and coach. I operate my own business focused on handlettering using pointed pen, broad edge pen, brushes, paint, and chalk, as well as custom watercolor and papercut art. My undergraduate degree was in oil painting with a minor in architectural studies, after which I attended a certificate program in wooden yacht restoration. I began my dip pen calligraphy studies in 2016 and quickly built a portfolio working on projects for local restaurants and within the wedding industry. I began teaching calligraphy five years ago and have taught workshops to a wide range of students in a variety of settings. My aim is to make calligraphy accessible to everyone and to do so remotely, as well as in person when able. I welcome the opportunity to work virtually, one on one with private students from the safety of their own homes and I look forward to teaching you. Please note that if you book virtual lessons with me and fail to communicate changes or show up for your scheduled lesson, you will be marked as “missed” and charged for the time slot, unless there has been an actual emergency. All booked students receive my phone number and email address, as well as an email reminder 24 hours before class from Take Lessons; there is no excuse for not taking the time to request schedule changes at least FOUR HOURS before your lesson. If you repeatedly cancel on me the day of your lesson, you will be charged for the time I spend chasing you down to reschedule. I am very flexible and willing to work with you but I ask that you please respect my time and show me the same courtesy you would an in person teacher. We will most likely be using ZOOM for virtual lessons.
