MARIA JONES, Bride, CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
BEST CALLIGRAPHER ANYWHERE!!!! Stefani was superb from day 1. We used her service for my daughter's wedding signage, and placecards for 155. From sign suggestions, to communication, her selection of STUNNING mirrors, ease of transactions, set up, and take down, and everything in-between, Stefani was an absolute pro and her work was exceptional! The compliments continue to flood in!!! Don't look any further! Book her! You will NOT regret it!

The mirrors were absolutely gorgeous at my wedding and Stefanie was a pleasure to work with. Don’t hesitate on booking with her.
TARA MANNING, The Grand Bohemian Hotel Bride, CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
Working with Stroman Studios has been an exceptional experience. Stephanie is not only excellent at her job, but she is also a genuine and kind person who cares deeply about her clients. She does the most beautiful work from seating charts to escort cards and so much more. She is always on time and ensures that her client’s event is gorgeous with unique touches. She is creative, reliable, professional, and fun to work with. The Ballantyne is lucky to call her one of our preferred vendors. I highly recommend her for any event or celebration you are planning!
CLAUDIA LONG, Sales Manager at The Ballantyne Hotel, BALLANTYNE, NORTH CAROLINA
Stefanie was amazing! She created multiple pieces for us and all of them turned out beautiful. We can't wait to work with her again.
ALEX QUILL, Founder/Creator at QC Events and Design, CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
I've had the pleasure of working with Stefanie for a few corporate events. She is quick to respond to messages and excudes professionalism from your first to last conversation. She has a true passion for what she does and goes above and beyond to ensure you receive a product that you love. I look forward to working with her in the future.
JANE LANGHAM, Events Specialist at Belk Department Stores Corporate Office, CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
As a couple who wanted our wedding to be elegant with special touches throughout, we knew that finding the right calligrapher would be crucial in setting the tone for our special day. From the moment we first contacted Stefanie, we knew we had found the perfect artist to bring our vision to life. She demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and was always available to answer our questions, ensuring that the entire experience was stress-free and enjoyable. The envelopes were delivered on time and in perfect condition, exceeding our expectations in every way. We cannot recommend Stefanie highly enough. Her artistic talent, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction make her the ideal choice for any couple seeking a truly exceptional wedding calligrapher.
HANNAH STRICKLAND, Bride, CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
Stefanie was an absolute pleasure to work with! I needed place cards for my rehearsal dinner and I had a pretty short turnaround time. Stefanie was accommodating and happy to work within the timeframe I needed! She completely understood my vision and the final product was stunning!! She is so talented :) the place cards got a ton of compliments from my guests! I highly recommend working with Stefanie and I hope I have the opportunity to work with her again!!
STEPHANIE SHAW, Bride, CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
I happened to discover Stefanie and her business through our venue. I had originally planned to make my own mirror seating chart, so after seeing her amazing talent and some of her beautiful work I just HAD to have her make our seating chart! I contacted her only three weeks out from the wedding so when she said she had our date available I was SO happy and excited! It was super easy to contact her and communication with her was great! From the time of inquiry to sending the mock chart, to the finalization. It was such a relief not having to worry about doing it myself but knowing that it was taken care of and executed so perfectly! She did AMAZING. Stefanie was one of our favorite vendors we worked with and it was such a pleasure to have her as a part in making our wedding day so special!
KELSEY SCOVILL, Bride, CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
Stefanie was a pleasure to work with! She was one of the final vendors we booked about a month before our wedding and was responsible for so many of the little details that brought our final wedding day vision together. Personal details were so important to us and she made it possible to weave so many of them into multiple aspects of our décor. From special keepsake place cards that incorporated a custom wax seal we had used on our invitations to welcome, seating chart, bar menu, and memory wall signage, she was able to perfectly and precisely execute our creative vision while also providing valuable insight and advice about what would work best at our venue and to make sure every piece effectively communicated a purposeful message. Add to her technical brilliance that she is an even kinder and thoughtful friend. You could not find someone better to work with on your wedding day! We will treasure our time working with her and some of the keepsakes she made us forever!
JOHNNY AND TAYLOR TANG, Bride and Groom, STATESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
Renting a sign from Stefanie was easy from start to finish. She was extremely responsive to all my inquiries, making the process feel seamless. However, the real standout here is the sign she created! She sent us a proof prior to creating the sign, ensuring we loved it. Our welcome sign was a hit at our wedding! Highly recommend.
NICOLE SEID, Bride, CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
Stefanie and her craft is nothing short of amazing! Her attention to detail and creativity elevated our wedding. I got so many compliments from guests about our signage and champagne scrolls. It was a dream come true! Recommend a million times over!
MISHA HOUSTON, Bride, GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
Ms. Stroman is very professional and knowledgeable about the skill set needed to learn calligraphy. The practice segments
were timed to keep the class moving. She will help you fix your handwriting style if needed. Her students leave with the ability to write and continue to practice calligraphy. I am looking forward to her next class. It is without reservation I recommend her class to anyone wanting to begin learning calligraphy.
JAMEIA BRANCH, Calligraphy Class Student, ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
Fantastic time! We had so much fun. Highly recommend Stefanie Stroman for a wonderful learning experience.
EDIE GREENLEE, Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
This was an awesome and fun class! I have no calligraphy experience at all. But Stefanie and the other classmates were so encouraging. I am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new. Although I don’t see what they saw in what I tried to do😂 I am definitely looking forward to taking more classes to become more advanced. And will be inviting others!

LESLIE HUGHES, Wedding Rental Signage Client, COLUMBIA, SC
Stefanie is absolutely AMAZING! She was such a breeze to work with and the calligraphy she did for my client’s wedding invitations was absolutely gorgeous. The calligraphy almost looked like a printed font because it was that high quality and just beautiful. She was quick, professional, and even helped me troubleshoot an unforeseen situation that she kindly dropped everything just to help me with and make sure I was able to mail out invitations on time. I couldn’t recommend her enough, I will be using Stefanie any time I have a client needing any kind of calligraphy service!
ABBIE BLAIR, Quill Creative Event Design Event Planner, CHARLOTTE, NC
This class was SO much fun! Stefanie made the class engaging and relaxed. I highly recommended this class!
TIFFANY OVERCASH, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
Spellbound is the word I can think of, when it comes to calligraphic diva that Stefanie is. I always found calligraphy extremely daunting. She made it really easy to learn with step by step manual along with the details that only artists who are confident of their art would provide. The class was relaxing and much needed for an IT professional like me. If you have friends and family who you want to have a good time with and learn an art that’s looks intimidating, Stefanie makes it a piece of cake with her easy to follow instructions, I would highly recommend joining her class. Pretty sure you will come for more. I definitely will..

Great venue. Excellent instruction by Stefanie and so enjoyable!

This class was so informative, and a lot of fun! The group is kept small enough for an intimate learning environment, and my particular class got along great.

This art seems very therapeutic and fulfilling!
HALEY FIANCHINO, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, COLUMBIA, SC
Used Stefanie for my wedding seating chart and she brought my vision to life. So thankful for her talent! Was so accommodating and timely, never mind the product and talent she has is unbeatable. Would highly recommend!!

Stefanie fit me into her schedule and wrote a letter for my wife for Mother’s Day. It was perfect, she was perfect. She communicated with me and was always available and went out of her way to offer to even bring it to my house! A+ customer service and A+ quality.
BRYAN SAIN, Custom Mother’s Day Calligraphy Letter, CHARLOTTE, NC
I took the virtual intro to calligraphy class and thoroughly enjoyed it. While my paper looked like chicken scratch when I was done the art of calligraphy is one that requires patience and practice and Stefanie was knowledgeable and encouraging. I wish there were additional classes that would make it more of a continual thing. But highly recommend any person looking for the next something, definitely take her class.

DAWNN SANDERS, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
Beautiful work for our corporate Board of Directors certificates. Will use Stroman Studios Calligraphy again.
CARRIE EPPS, Corporate Client, PICA OF THE CAROLINAS
I really enjoyed Stefanie's. Even though her virtual class was only an hour, she provided enough instruction in order to get any novice started with calligraphy. Highly recommend this course!!
STEFANIA GUSTAFSON, Virtual Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Student
I completely enjoyed the virtual calligraphy class. Stefanie was patient and fun throughout the entire class. From someone with less than stellar handwriting, she gave me so much guidance in an hour. I've been motivated to practice each day. It's so relaxing.
BIANCA BRYANT, Virtual Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Student
I had such a good time at the virtual calligraphy class. Stefanie is so knowledgeable and takes the time to really make sure that you understand the process. I hope she has other future classes because I would sign up for all of them. Whether it's a class or a lettered product, you can't go wrong.

Stefanie worked with me to design custom holiday ornaments to recognize my leadership team at work. Stefanie was professional, personable, quick to respond and a joy to work with! She turned my project around in a matter of days and even delivered it to my office. The custom ornament was the icing on the cake and made a lovely gift. I highly recommend Stefanie and her work.
LISA HOLLAND, Corporate Gifting Client, LPL FINANCIAL
Stefanie is AMAZING! she was super responsive, and we have received so many compliments on her fabulous work! You will NOT be disappointed with Stroman Studios! Thank you Stefanie!
TARAH MCCURRY, Wedding Rental Sign Client, PAWLEY’S ISLAND, SC
Where do I even begin?!?! Stefanie took on our ballroom wedding and made our seating chart dreams come true! She made the most beautiful arrangement for our hedge wall to make everything come together. She also made us TWO other welcome signs for our different venues. Not only is Stefanie a talented artist, she is a wonderful person. She checked in on us during the last month of planning to make sure we didn't need anything else and was our hype woman when it came time for the wedding day! Stefanie is someone you NEED on your team for your wedding / event. <3
JEN GERARD, Wedding Rental Sign Client, CHARLOTTE, NC
Stephanie was friendly, encouraging and enthusiastic. She explained how calligraphy was not only a worthwhile hobby, but it was calming and meditative. I felt fulfilled and eager to do more.
JUNE INGRAM, Virtual Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Student
I highly recommend Stroman Studios! I took an online calligraphy class with Stefanie and it was so much fun! I learned so much and truly enjoyed every minute!
AMBER SACA, Virtual Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Student
Really, it was a simple request...a request to write some simple words in a simple book...a request to help me turn a simple vision into a gift for my lovely wife. With gentle enthusiasm, she (Stefanie) assured me she was up for the task. In mere weeks, the gift arrived, wrapped in a simple white, cloth ribbon...tied in a bow...almost as if to whisper, "what's inside is very special". It's amazing to me how she (Stefanie) can turn a simple word into a piece of art...a masterpiece, really. The curves and lines and flourishes almost tell their own story...and it makes me wonder....does she (Stefanie) feel a sense of joy to make a pen dance across the page in such a manner? I imagine it must...it's almost as if she spills a little part of her own soul through her pen to bring joy to others who have the pleasure of working with her. Thank you, Stefanie, for turning a very special day into something even more beautiful!
SCOTT GRAY, Custom Calligraphy Book/Journal Customer, NASHVILLE, TN
Stefanie created the most beautiful menus for a special birthday dinner I planned for my partner. When other calligraphers in the area said no with more than a few weeks notice, Stefanie promptly accepted my order. Her responsiveness and professionalism will definitely keep me coming back for those special occasion events. She even went so far as to drive the menus to me when they were done. Stroman Calligraphy is exceptional. Bravo to an amazing local business.
C HOWARD, Custom Calligraphy Dinner Menu Customer, CHARLOTTE, NC
I highly recommend Stroman Studios. I have recently ordered a jean jacket for my sisters wedding and the service was amazing. She pays close attention to what you want and constantly keeps you updated. Her work is flawless.
RACHEL LIGON, Custom Bride Denim Jacket Customer, RICHMOND, VA

BREE GAYMAN, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC

Such a fun and relaxing class! Great way to get creative!
RACHEL CARNICELLI, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
Stefanie did such a wonderful job making the seating chart and place cards for our rehearsal dinner. She was easy and wonderful to work with, as well as handling the delivery and pick-up of the mirror. It was stress-free. I recommend her for any of your calligraphy needs!
LINDSAY AND CAM, Wedding Rental Sign Client, CHARLOTTE, NC
Stefanie is amazing! She was so helpful last minute for an event that I had. She worked and asked all of the right questions, to make sure that myself and my client were happy. I cannot recommend her enough!
GREY BOROFF, Wedding Planner, NASHVILLE, TN
Working with Stefanie is one of the major delights of my career as a planner. I know I can give her minimal guidance or extreme details and either way she will knock it out of the park for my clients. She goes the extra mile to make my brides feel like more than just a couple-- she makes them feel like family, and that means the world when you are entrusting someone with so many special details on your wedding day. You can have faith that Stefanie will get every detail taken care of in a timely, professional, and detailed manner! And the work is impeccable every time!
HANNAH JACOBS, Wedding Planner, NASHVILLE, TN
Stefanie is so incredibly talented and such a pleasure to work with! We worked together for a few months and throughout the whole process she was SO communicative and professional, always getting back to me quickly (which you know isn’t the case with all wedding vendors) so I really really appreciated Stefanie’s work ethic. We absolutely loved our mirrored seating chart for our wedding! She also (last minute) created some escort cards for us that we needed for some guests with dietary restrictions and those came out beautiful too. Thank you Stefanie! I can’t wait to work with you again!
KARLA MARQUEZ, Wedding Rental Sign Client, CHARLOTTE, NC
I am beyond pleased with the quick response and the quality of work Stroman Studios offers. Stefanie quickly sprung into action to help fulfill my customized name tag needs. She worked hard and fast to complete my order and made sure i got exactly what I was looking for. You will not be disappointed.
WENDY ROBINSON, Custom Wedding Bridal Party Bag Tag Customer, COLUMBIA, SC
I have always had such a great experience with Stroman Studios Calligraphy! I took a beginners calligraphy class which was amazing and I was able to write in calligraphy by the end of the class! Stefanie is an amazing teacher. Then more recently I had Stefanie do a project for my Lash Studio here in Nashville. She wrote up all of the essential lash extension after care beautifully on a canvas scroll that will be hung up in the studio for clients to read! I’ll update with photos once I get it hung this weekend! Thank you Stroman Studios for being amazing at everything!
TERYN DOHNER, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Student & Custom Calligraphy Project Client, NASHVILLE, TN
Stefanie the envelopes are beautiful‼️ So perfectly matching the font of the invitations…completes My daughter and future son-in -law’s wedding invitation!! I looked at each and every one and admired how beautiful they were and imagined what the receiver would say when they saw this special piece of mail. The postal workers that received them in the post office today were in awe of them…Each step along the way to their final destination will be a bright spot in whomever path it crosses!! Beautiful job! You’ve been a pleasure and a real professional! I highly recommend you and I look forward to working with you again!! THANK YOU!
BETH TOWNSEND, Wedding Envelope Calligraphy Client, AIKEN, SC
I recently ordered two sets of baby acrylic milestones from Stroman Studios and was so pleased with my order. Stephanie is so amazing and passionate about her work. The ordering process was seamless, and was so pleased to be kept up to date on when everything was completed and sent out. I would give Stroman Studios 10 stars if I could. I will be ordering again very soon.
HALEY SMITH, Baby Acrylic Milestone Marker Customer, COLUMBIA, SC
Stefanie made wedding hangers for myself and my bridesmaids. The hangers were beautiful & were a great addition to my day. Originally ordered hangers off Etsy & those don’t compare to these handwritten hangers, these were perfect! I had a deadline of when I needed the hangers by and she assured me I would get them in time. Stefanie also is great at communicating and building a relationship with her clients. She will message me and ask me how I’m doing, how married life is and she will even swipe up and make comments on my Instagram stories. While that might not seem like much, it means a lot for her to reach out to me still even after my order was fulfilled. Overall, I highly recommend Stefanie to anyone! I am trying to think of other writing pieces I need just to order from her again! She has a beautiful soul & beautiful work!
KRISTEN HAROLD, Custom Wedding Bridal Party Hanger Customer, DAVENPORT, IA
Stefanie customized a denim jacket for my niece and did a fantastic job! Fair pricing, beautiful art, fantastic customer service, and swift shipping! Couldn’t ask for more. I look forward to using Stefanie in the future!

I attended the Cookies and Calligraphy class with Stefanie Stroman in Charlotte, NC. She is patient and courteous! It has been a few weeks since the class and she still answers my questions promptly via text. She has been so encouraging and she even helped me land my first client!!! I have already signed up for class #2 and I can’t wait!!!! If you are thinking about taking her class, just sign up already! It is so worth it!!!
JA’NICE DRAKEFORD, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
Calligraphy first timer and I can say that there was no better way to kick it off than with Stephanie’s Cookies + Calligraphy class. I LOVED every bit of it and learned a lot. She’s so talented and such a great teacher! I enjoyed it so much that I already signed up for the Coffee + Calligraphy class!
NAOMI CAMACHO, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
I have always enjoyed writing and journaling which ultimately sparked an interest in calligraphy. Being new to the Charlotte area I figured it would be a great time to learn a new hobby and meet some new people. I was able to do both at Stefanie’s Cookies and Calligraphy class. Stefanie was very personable and friendly and not to mention patient. She had a lot of enthusiasm and positivity that is extremely contagious and crucial to help any beginner learn calligraphy. The class flowed at a nice pace and included all of the fundamentals necessary to conquer the modern calligraphy techniques. For anyone who’s looking for a new hobby or a different type of calligraphy, I HIGHLY recommend taking this class. I’m looking forward to perfecting this craft with the help of Stefanie by attending more classes in the future.
TEESHA TRUESDALE, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
My sister and I attending the 5/11/19 class in Charlotte NC. We had no idea what we were doing when we arrived and walked out with the basic knowledge and encouragement to get started with calligraphy. Definitely planning to sign up for the level 2 class. Stefanie did a great job walking around to each student and helping them adjust their form.
EMILY POSTELL, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
I took Stephanie’s class and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn a new skill. She is very sweet, personable and a hands on teacher! We had so much FUN and I look forward to next month’s class. Can’t wait!!
FARRAH CALKINS, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
Stefanie's class was so fun, engaging, and educational! She was such a great teacher the two hours FLEW by! I've always wanted to learn calligraphy and am so glad to finally have a great foundation to build off of!

MARY MACALADY, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
I thoroughly enjoyed my introductory class with Stefanie in her cookies and calligraphy class. She is so personable and a talented teacher. I think I just found my new hobby! I look forward to more lessons.
ROSE M, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
The instructor was very personable and helpful. It was so much fun. I feel I gained a lot of knowledge that I can take home with me as I practice. Awesome experience!!
ALYSSA GARDNER, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
The intro class was great! I have always struggled with messy handwriting so I thought I was going to have a hard time but that was far from reality. I highly recommend the intro class to anyone that is at all interested in learning calligraphy! I can't wait for the second class! Stefanie was great and very helpful!
JESSICA CLARK, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
A fun, easy intro to calligraphy! The instructor is so sweet and kind. The two hours just flies by; you pretty much spend most of the time practicing your letters. My only complaint is that there isn’t enough time to do more than the basic alphabet and numbers. You need the second class to learn more. My goal was to address the envelopes for my sister’s wedding and with more practice (and class 2), I’m very confident I can do this!
EMILY REEL, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
Had so much in the Cupcakes & Calligraphy class! Stefanie was so encouraging and patient. Can’t wait to practice!!
CAROL HUSS, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC

CILLE MISENAR, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
This class is great for beginners! I knew nothing and feel like I've learned so much!
CLARE DONNELLY, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
Had so much fun at the Cupcakes and Calligraphy class! Highly recommend it whether you're just getting started or are looking to improve. I went alone and had a great time, but this would be a super fun thing to do with a group of friends, too.
KATE GRIFFIN, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
I received this class as a Valentine's Day gift from my boyfriend and it was a blast! I didn't know anyone in the class and everyone was so lovely. There were a lot of laughs! It's wonderful that Stefanie is willing to share her gift with others.
HANNAH KINRADE, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
Couldn’t be more pleased with the artistry and talent of Stroman Studios for the calligraphy done on our addressed envelopes for our upcoming wedding! Exquisitely executed, and perfectly coordinating with the look of our invites, Stephanie exceeded our expectations. Easy drop-off/delivery/billing made the calligraphy process seamless. Beautiful work!

What a wonderful class! Stefanie is personable, patient, kind and encouraging! Well worth my time and a great gift! My grandfather loved to calligraph and I'm proud to follow in his footsteps. Thank you!!
LISA POSTON, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
Stefanie is beyond amazing!! One of my girlfriends from work was telling me about how she hired someone to address her wedding invitations in calligraphy. I thought what a cool idea, but I was a little to late bc mine had already been sent out. But once I saw her work and design I had so many other ideas I wanted Stefanie to do for my upcoming wedding. With time to spare she meet me for lunch that same week and help me brainstorm the most creative ideas that see made come to life! She designed all of my table cards indicating desserts, flavors, cigar bar, sparkles, etc. She most importantly created my programs and menus too. She created my ceremony mirror in addition to hand writing all 150+ guest on a mirror for my seating chart. She also wrote personalized cards to each of my bridesmaids, mother, father, and soon to husband. Her personalized touch made my vision come to life. She is super dedicated and timely, even when I only gave her shy of a months notice for all she completed for me. She made sure it was all completed and what a perfectionist she is. Her work is FLAWLESS. Not only is she amazing at what she does she is a great person at heart. We have received numerous compliments on all of her work. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for stunning calligraphy!! I am looking forward to taking one of her class in the future. Thanks again Stefanie for all your dedication and making our wedding even more so perfect with your touch!

Stephanie was fabulous. It was crunch time to get my invitations out and she did a rush for me. I was forever thankful! The envelopes turned out even more beautiful than I had imagined. My guests have raved abt how good they look. She's highly recommended. Will be using her again for my daughter's wedding next year.
EMILY PEEPLES, Wedding Invitation Envelope Calligraphy Client, CHARLOTTE, NC
I took Stefanie's Calligraphy and Cupcakes class and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Her instruction was clear and detailed, I felt confident, and when she made corrections/assisted with my attempts at calligraphy I didn't feel like I was being talked down to. A supportive instructor is always a plus, especially with something like this! I have continued to practice and really enjoy working on my calligraphy. I cannot recommend this class, or Stefanie's services enough.
MEGHAN GILLING, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
I took Stefanie's Calligraphy & Cupcakes class and LOVED it! For what seemed to be a very hard and complicated craft, Stefanie made it super easy and fun to learn. All of the tools are provided to you, and the cupcakes were delicious. I've been practicing every day since and can't wait to take her next class!
LIANE LEDOUX, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC

I had SO much fun taking the Cupcakes and Calligraphy class! If you're interested in learning this art, I highly recommend taking the course with Stefanie at Stroman Studios! She really knows her stuff, and she makes it such a fun and enjoyable experience! I can't wait to take the follow-up class and learn even more!
ASHLEY BOYKIN, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
I took the Cupcakes and Calligraphy class and it was so much fun. Great energy, clear instruction, helpful hints, and a small class size all helped make this class a great 2 hours! Planning to take the next two classes in the series and continue practicing at home - highly recommended if you are interested in calligraphy.
LAURA YOUNG, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
Stefanie and her class is great! Definitely going to be taking more classes from her in the future!
MAGGIE NORRIS, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
I recently took Stefanie's cupcakes + calligraphy class with one of my friends and we had the best time. Stefanie was super helpful and sweet throughout the whole class. She provided us with all the supplies needed and we were able to take everything home to continue practicing. My friend and I both can't wait to take the next class! I highly recommend taking a class from her.
MEREDITH POTTS, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
After years of putting it off, I finally signed up and attended Stefanie's Cupcakes & Calligraphy class. It was the best 2 hours of my week! I enjoyed meeting new people, learning the calligraphy craft, and getting one-on-one instruction from the master herself. I am so pumped for the next class and have been practicing at work and home. It's not an expensive class at all and I came home with a few basic tools I need to keep practicing and perfect my new skill :)
JESSICA RENAE PHILLIPS, Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Class Student, CHARLOTTE, NC
Amazing teacher! Great class! If you are looking for an artistic approach to your handwriting and hobbies, or even just for fun, check Stroman Studios out! A++++
