She made sure everyone could write whatever letter we were on before moving on to the next set of letters. I loved that she went one on one with everyone to make sure we got it down and to answer any questions we had. She showed us how to write the letter if we didn't quite get it and gave us extra paper to practice for after as well. It was great we got to practice writing an envelope address which was fun and to see how much we learned that day. Her home was lovely, and it was so nice she had little snacks and mimosas for us during our halftime break. It was truly a nice experience and I can't wait to learn more on my own. Thanks Karen!

I have been wanting to learn calligraphy for quite some time but was always intimidated by it. All my fears have left and I am ready to just practice practice practice. Karen provides a unique calligraphy pen and a folder of everything you need to practice all your lettering at home after her class. For 3 hours we practice all the different letters in upper, lower case letters and numbers. I love the intimacy of her classes and how she is able to help you with your calligraphy and also gives you tips to improve. At the end of class we practice everything we have learned on an envelope. Thank you Karen for opening your home and providing us food and drinks! Your class was in such a loving environment it was so enjoyable learning.

He was polite, courteous, professional, and accommodating during our email exchanges prior to the event. I was a bit uncertain as to what to expect, but upon his arrival to our community, Picasso promptly exceeded my expectations. What an amazing talent! The line to see him was long, and even though I only booked him for an hour, he stayed past the scheduled end time to ensure everyone received a piece of his beautiful art. It was the perfect way to share the Chinese culture at our event. I will definitely contact Picasso again in the future.

I did feel that overall, the prices were fair. Parking can be challenging, given the area is in downtown Santa Ana. The shop is also smaller than i had expected.
