Step into the timeless elegance of Italian craftsmanship with an exclusive calligraphy workshop at
the Pineider boutique in Florence.
Hosted just steps away from the Arno River, this experience is a refined journey into the world of
fine handwriting — where tradition, design, and manual skill meet in perfect harmony.
Why join?

This curated workshop is designed for those who appreciate beauty, detail and heritage: whether
you are a design enthusiast, a curious traveler, or a collector of experiences.
Guided by an expert calligrapher, you will learn how to hold a pen with grace, how to sit and
breathe correctly, and how to let your hand move with fluidity and intention.

watermarked paper.
