Recent reviews of Pointed Pen Calligraphy Class for Beginners
- 5/5 from Veronica Ruby, attended Jan 2025: I tried to launch on my own, but I needed this class. The materials and demonstrations are great.
- 5/5 from Christine Stough, attended Jul 2024: Cathy did a great job! I have wanted to take a calligraphy class in person for a long time and her class exceeded my expectations. She taught at just the right pace, answered all if our questions and patiently went over bits we didn’t get right away. In 2 1/2 hours she helped us become beginning calligraphers! She gave us enough supplies and instructions to continue on our own. I am so excited and look forward to taking more classes!
- 5/5 from Jodi Swick, attended Jul 2022: This class was amazing. Catherine was so patient and thorough. We loved it! Highly recommend.
- 5/5 from Rachel Fahlgren-Skinner, attended Jul 2022: Calligraphy class as a lot of fun! We had focused, personalized attention and suggestions that made sense for the different skill levels of the two people taking the class. 100% would recommend!

Hello!I’m Catherine, a Bay Area mom, ice cream shop owner, and modern calligrapher. My calligraphy journey began when I created handwritten signs for my first ice cream shop, and what started as a practical need quickly grew into a true passion. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of teaching calligraphy workshops, creating wedding calligraphy, and offering live on-site engraving and personalizations for events.Motherhood has deepened my connection to art in new ways. After welcoming my baby in 2022, I discovered how restorative creativity could be during the ups and downs of postpartum life. That reminder inspired me to keep sharing calligraphy as both an art form and a form of self-care.In 2025, life came full circle when I took over The Shack, a local ice cream shop in Larkspur. Today, it’s not only a place for scoops and smiles, but also where I host creative workshops that bring people together through art and community.I’m so grateful for the chance to share this journey, and I would love to welcome you to one of my workshops soon. Let’s make art together, and maybe celebrate with a scoop!
