She has \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003etaught many workshops, both in-person and online, with brands such as Muji and Oomomo, as well as private team-building workshops with smaller organisations and universities. She organises a local calligraphy community (\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vancouverletteringcommunity\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e@vancouverletteringcommunity\u003c\/a\u003e) with two other calligraphers, and bringing together new friends who have the same interests is another big reason for her to keep creating. Annabelle believes that \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ecreating calligraphy is the perfect opportunity to slow down in our modern, fast-paced, technologically-forward world, to connect with the here-and-now, and to ground ourselves via the tactile sensation of pen on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePorchlight Workshop Registration Policy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCancellation and Refund:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you cancel 7 business days prior to the start of your workshop we will issue you a credit for the full amount.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you cancel less than 7 business days before the start of the class you will incur a $50 cancellation fee and have the rest of the amount issued to you as store credit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorchlight Press reserves the right to cancel a class for any reason.
