Hi there! I’m Allison, and I’m so excited to be part of the Sip and Script community! Creativity has always been an integral part of my life, which led me to start Creative Explorations—offering pop-up crafting classes around the Twin Cities, MN.  As a kid, I was drawn to scrapbooking, stationery, and photography, so it felt very natural when I eventually discovered calligraphy. I was instantly hooked by the meditative process and the beauty of each finished piece! For me, calligraphy isn’t just an art form, it’s a way to slow down in a busy world and find joy in the present details. When I’m not teaching calligraphy or crafting classes, I'm a full time project manager and love spending time with my husband and our dogs, reading Human Design charts, playing volleyball, and curling up with a good mystery book.
