Hometown Holidays

Lifestyle
Written By Laura Hooper & Alyssa Law

Hand-lettering holiday décor and gifts are some of our favorite offerings each year through our online holiday gift shop and in-person holiday pop-ups! This year we’ll be offering personalized nativity sets, gingerbread house candle holders, white glitter roof houses, Santa place cards and gift tags, potted Amaryllis & Paperwhite gift sets, our hand-painted ornaments, and more at the 3rd annual Hometown Holidays event, sponsored by Port City Brewing Company and Alexandria Makers Market! 

Hometown Holidays is on Small Business Saturday. 30 Alexandria-based makers will take over the Port City parking lot. You can shop small and local, supporting all Alexandria-based makers on Saturday, November 27, at Port City Brewing from 12-5pm.

We hope to see you there!

With more than 20 years of calligraphy experience, Laura Hooper, Owner and Creative Director, has produced scripts for hundreds of weddings, corporate clients, and even a celeb or two (yes, stars: they love calligraphy just like us!), handcrafting everything from addressed envelopes to custom signage, all from our Old Town Alexandria studio. At the holidays, we offer custom, handwritten décor items. Laura has trained under three amazing master penman to date; Michael Sull, Vivian Mungall, and Harvest Crittenden, and she is a certified instructor of American Cursive Handwriting. She resides in Mount Vernon, Alexandria. Alyssa, Laura’s sister, joined the company as Director of Operations in 2014, allowing the family business to go around the world with online video courses and in-person workshops. Alyssa runs the day-to-day logistics of Laura Hooper Calligraphy, allowing Laura to focus on the art. She resides in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria.


Looking to learn the art of modern pointed-pen calligraphy? Laura Hooper Calligraphy has got you covered with both in-person workshops {right here in Old Town Alexandria!} as well as a starter kit plus video tutorial for at-home learning.
