Left-handed? You're very welcome. This class is designed with lefties in mind — we teach you to get ink flowing through your nib with confidence, whatever hand you use.

All students under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a ticketed adult to our classes.

Feathered Serpent Calligraphy

Vernon Hills, IL

Hello! I'm Todd, the proud owner of Feathered Serpent Calligraphy, where I specialize in crafting hand-turned calligraphy pens, engraving, embossing,  Bar and Bat Mitzvah invitations, wedding invitations, corporate gifts and thank you notes.
My journey into calligraphy began at age 10, when I took my first class, and the teachers were perplexed by how to guide this left-handed boy. Fast forward to 2020, when I discovered the art of the pointed pen and instantly fell in love with its elegance and ability to flourish. Since then, I've been dedicated to teaching both children and adults the beauty of calligraphy, all while continuing to hone my own skills. When I'm not teaching, practicing, or working on commissioned pieces, you can find me in my shop—turning new pens, or enjoying the great outdoors while birdwatching.
I’m fortunate to have a wonderfully supportive family: my wife of 20 years, our 18-year-old son who is starting his Freshman year at Penn State, our 15-year-old daughter who is learning to drive (and is really great at it!), and our affectionate Mini Bernedoodle. I look forward to meeting you in class. And remember—the best questions,  are the ones you ask!
