The class description is as follows:
"What does it mean to write in Letterista style? Well, it’s a sweet mash up of traditional calligraphy gone wild, modern takes and innovations on old styles of lettering and writing !
I’ve coined the term Letterista style to describe my take on calligraphy-rebellious, different and definitely not by the rules. ( Although I bow to the calligraphy gods )
What will happen when we open up to modifications of several styles of lettering-Roman to Gothic to Script? ( Don't worry-no calligraphy experience needed here!)super cool new approaches to title and text lettering for your journal.
Let’s organically explore all these options together for a jam packed day. Rebellious and chaotic, spilling our brilliant and innermost thoughts on the page, always a lot of fun.
Explorers wanted... letterers wanted...artists wanted!"
I'm taking this class with my friend Irene, whom I met for the first time last year. I'm looking forward to having a day with her, she is such a talented artist, I learned a lot last year just by sitting beside her.

I used to do my own version of calligraphy when I was younger. Mostly I just made fancy letters with a calligraphy pen, addressed wedding invitations for friends, that sort of thing. Do you think I could find that pen as I was packing for this trip? Not a chance. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to learning Lisa's style of decorative penmanship.

Silly me!
