Wobbly Lettering on Journals: Imperfect Lettering that Feels Perfectly You with Huyen Dinh

Do you ever stop yourself from making art because you’re worried it won’t be perfect? In this 3-hour hands-on workshop, lettering artist and illustrator Huyen Dinh will help you let go of perfection and embrace imperfection with her signature “wobbly lettering” style.

We’ll start with playful warm-ups and simple lettering foundations, then move into sketching, refining, and painting directly onto hardcover fabric journals (provided). Along the way, you’ll learn to embrace happy accidents, play with color, and design a journal cover that feels completely your own.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a one-of-a-kind hand-painted journal — and the confidence to keep making art without fear of mistakes (plus a journal cute enough to show off at the coffee shop).
