Calligraphy & Street Art 101
Sip and Script is an intro-level workshop designed to get you hands-on with lettering in a relaxed, no-pressure space.
This class blends calligraphy, street art techniques, and music into an easygoing creative session. You’ll learn the basics of One Eighty Collective’s signature style, working with brushes, spray paint, and pens to create bold, expressive lettering. No art background needed, this class is made for beginners and curious creatives alike.
If you’ve always wanted to try calligraphy, love street art, or just want a creative night out with a friend and a drink in hand, this workshop is a chance to slow down, try something new, and make something real.
Bring your own drinks and snacks — glasses and cutlery are provided.
Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on, or bring a towel or apron. The class is held in my garage studio, so dress for the weather.
Aprons are not supplied.
Available for private bookings. Public class EOI available.
I’m Kate, the artist behind One Eighty, a Melbourne-based calligraphy and street art practice built on honest expression and real conversations.
One Eighty began during the lockdowns, when I started painting mantras to get myself through a rough patch. It was about changing the way I spoke to my own mind. That personal habit quickly became the work I couldn’t stop doing.
My art combines bold black-letter calligraphy, hand-painted text, and street-inspired techniques to create murals, original artworks, and public pieces. The words I paint are simple and direct, made to sit with you, interrupt your thoughts, and shift how you feel.
I’ve painted walls and shown work across Australia at festivals, events, and exhibitions, and held my first solo show in November 2024. The work often opens up conversations around mental health, resilience, and choosing a different direction.
Alongside my art practice, I work as a graphic and web designer, helping brands with logos, websites, and creative direction. I also run calligraphy workshops where people can slow down, pick up a pen, and spend time making something beautiful whilst trying something new.
One Eighty is about turning words into action, one shift at a time.
If you’re after custom artwork, murals, branding, or workshops, let’s work together.
