About Alma Flourish:

My love for calligraphy began over 40 years ago with a rusty fountain pen I found in my dads weathered desk. Years of journaling, scrapbooking, creative planning, and collecting pens naturally led me to this beautiful art form.

When my daughter needed academic support, we took a calligraphy workshop together and discovered how the simple act of writing with intention can improve focus, encourage creativity, and strengthen connection. Calligraphy transforms words, each stroke becoming a moment of mindfulness while adding beauty to the way we communicate and preserve memories.

Over the years, Ive had the opportunity to teach nearly 1,000 students through Sip & Script classes, workshops, and private events. Ive helped participants discover that calligraphy can be approachable, relaxing, and fun. I love creating welcoming spaces where attendees feel encouraged to slow down, connect, and enjoy the creative process.. plus have fun!

I had the joy of teaching at Little Craft Fest earlier this year, and the experience truly inspired me. Connecting with the journaling and crafty community made me feel more confident as both an instructor and creative. It complemented the incredible work the vendors and fellow workshop instructors were doing, and encouraged me to become even more involved in this community that feels so much like family to me. The warmth and excitement from attendees reminded me how meaningful it is to create spaces where people can gather, learn, and make something beautiful together.

My workshops blend seasonal creativity, journaling inspiration, and modern calligraphy with hands-on experiences that encourage attendees to slow down, create, and have fun. For this special spooky-themed class, students will explore festive lettering inspired by Halloween and Da de los Muertos themes, create their own custom calligraphy ink, practice on beautiful specialty papers, and design whimsical brush calligraphy pumpkins as part of the seasonal creative activity.

Based in Houston, TX, Im a wife, mom of three, and energy professional who loves tea, cappuccinos, traveling, rainy days, and getting lost in a good creative project.
