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 href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vancouverletteringcommunity\/\" rel=\"noopener\" 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.\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Porchlight Press Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43782230016066,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2137\/4279\/files\/IntrotoBrush-Promopic2.png?v=1780333725","url":"https:\/\/porchlightpress.com\/products\/intro-to-brush-lettering-august-8-2026","provider":"Porchlight Press Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
