This was my first solo night out since having a wee one and it was nice to spend time being artsy and having some girl chat. China did an excellent job putting together a fun and easy-to-follow guide and Cindy kept us laughing and our glasses topped up. I enjoyed brushing elbows with all the ladies and though my work wasn't a stroke of genius, it was still fun.* *puns intended read more

I absolutely LOVED this event!! First of all, thank you so much Cindy for such an excellent intimate event. China Frost of Olive Paper Co was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet and coached each of us throughout event. She provided each Yelper with a workbook to practice all of our letters. We also received three pages of card stock, two envelopes, and one of her prints. It was really nice to be walked through each step of calligraphy. By the time I left, I felt completely empowered and ready to run to the nearest Michael's and pick up some Artist Loft watercolor paint and brushes to practice. I would definitely recommend her work. If you're not convinced, just check out her Instagram!! Additionally, The Frock was such a cute venue! It's a perfect location for a small party or event. I really loved the historic and elegant look of the decor. Again, thank you so much for a great event! I really enjoyed myself and hopefully learned a new craft! read more

So basically I felt like I was living the life of one of those cool Instagram bloggers at this event. I mean calligraphy and champagne?! It was the coolest. China, the owner of Olive Paper Co., was super friendly and easy to talk to. She was extremely honest with her business and how she got started, which I appreciated. Check out her Instagram, @olivepaperco, I'm obsessed. The actual workshop was extremely easy to work through. While China talked us through each page in the workbook she provided, we were also able to work through it at our own pace. My champagne continuously was replenished, which added a boost of confidence. Not only were we able to leave feeling inspired with our workbook in tow, China also gave each of us one of her original fun quote pieces. Thank you so much China and Cindy for this awesome event! It was such a fun evening. read more

First off, thank you so much Yelp cincy for creating this event and giving us the opportunity to try out calligraphy! The event space was awesome, very open and welcoming. I've always wanted to try calligraphy so when I saw this event I was so excited. China was so helpful with every step of learning the basics. She provided tips and tricks of watercolor calligraphy and was very encouraging the whole time! Cindy was so fun and enthusiastic! I also liked that I didn't know a single person there which brought me out of my comfort zone and got to meet some awesome ladies! Can't wait to start practicing more and start creating beautiful pieces of artwork! read more

This was such a fun event! I loved China's approach and her willingness to walk around and answer one-on-one questions. She was so open and friendly, which really made for a great atmosphere! The set-up at each table was perfect and Instagram-worthy. The self-guided workbook that was provided was very helpful in learning how to form each letter. I really enjoyed chatting with the people around me as we worked in this small setting! The space itself (The Frock) would be great for any occasion. It is very versatile and unique. I would definitely rent it out for an event such as a bridal or baby shower, birthday dinner, etc! Thank you for such a great event, China! I had a fabulous time and it was everything I hoped it would be! read more

This was my first Yelp event and it was totally amazing! First of all, The Frock is a beautiful, simplistic event space-- open yet intimate with beautiful white walls, wood floors and bar, and glass windows. I would describe the vibe as "reclaimed modern". I could easily envision a bridal shower or birthday party in the Frock. Next, the amazing brush calligraphy lesson! China Frost of Olive Paper Co assembled a wonderful tutorial package which included practice sheets for brush strokes and the alphabet (remember those ruled sheets of paper for learning cursive in second grade-- yep, like that!). China showed us the basic brush holds and strokes and then we had freedom to work at our own pace; China was an amazing coach-- super approachable and very kind. The package also included a few sheets of card stock and a couple envelopes for practice-- as well as a print from China-- what a lovely gift! My calligraphy skills are far from Instagram-worthy, but with some practice, maybe I'll get there! A perfect girls-night out-- beautiful venue, fun girly chat time, some bubbles, and a new crafty skill with excellent instruction and take home practice to keep it going! If you see a Yelp event, give it a shot-- you won't regret it! Finally a huge THANK YOU to Cindy for organizing and hosting such a fun event! read more

Had a blast at the Calligraphy class taught by China from Olive Paper Co! I learned I am pretty bad at calligraphy (my work devolved into writing cursive with watercolor paint) but China provided awesome training materials and was patient, nice and clearly passionate about her work. (I do wish she would have shown us a little more of her work, but I'm now getting my fill from her Instagram.) The Frock was a cute space and perfect for the size of the group, and it was fun to meet new people. Overall, a great night where I was able to learn something new! read more

this class was everything I wanted and then some! Calligraphy is something I've always wanted to try and this Yelp event with China was the ideal scenario. It was low key, fun and a great atmosphere. The watercolor aspect added an additional layer of fun with the multiple colors. I appreciated the non traditional/rules oriented calligraphy approach, but the workbook was very helpful. China was clearly well prepared even though it was her first workshop. Everything was set up so beautifully and the space, The Frock, added to charm of the event! China's work is beautiful and she was a great teacher. Doing a workshop with a small group of friends would be a great social activity! This Yelp event was one of the most fun and social I've been too- everyone was so excited and engaged. read more

Lovely event, and inspiring experience! Thank you Cindy, China, and all other team members for your time, effort, and invitation! Reawakened (is that the right tense) my appreciation for handwriting and cursive! I've been practicing everyday. I appreciated that China went around and gave mini demonstrations! Cindy was funny and entertaining! I only wish there was a bit of food and the event went on longer, I didn't want it to end. I met some cool girls and was really impressed with how quickly we all picked it up only after 2 hours, which shows how awesome China's teaching methods were! The Frock is defiantly a 180° turn around in the right direction. I use to see punk shows here in 2015! Now, it is cute, bright, and with a welcoming charm. I'd love to see how the space is used in the future as it is not very large, yet enough for private parties. read more
