Calgary, Oct 22–25, 2025
Ever look at your lettering and feel like it’s missing something?
Perfect strokes and polished script, but it still looks incomplete?
Without borders, your beautiful work just floats—like a gourmet meal on a paper plate. It feels unfinished.
And clients notice.
Even pros with years of experience can look amateur without proper framing.
The fix?
Royal Borders—a system based on centuries-old calligraphy techniques used by royal court scribes.
But simplified and modernized for today’s artist.
Welcome Home, Ink Lover: Hotel Blackfoot Calgary
Guess what?
We’ve got a home base — and it’s a good one.
We’re thrilled to announce that Hotel Blackfoot Calgary is our official festival headquarters.
Think: the kind of place where the staff actually smiles at you, the coffee doesn’t taste like printer ink, and you can float from your room to your workshop without ever stepping outside. (A dream, especially if you’re still in your slippers practicing flourishes.)
Hotel Blackfoot is known for its legit conference spaces and service that makes you feel like a VIP—even if you’ve shown up with ink on your hands (welcome to the club).
A Sweet Deal Just for You
Because they love us (and we love them right back),
Hotel Blackfoot is giving Flourish Festival attendees an exclusive rate:
$165 per night + taxes.
That’s right.
A real hotel room.
A comfy bed.
Zero roommate situations with someone’s drying calligraphy practice pages spread over every surface.
Bliss.
Why You’ll Want to Stay Here
Crawl-to-class convenience. Your workshop is just downstairs.
Great spaces. Perfect lighting, comfortable rooms, no juggling ink jars on tiny tables.
Food + drinks on-site. Because sometimes you want a burger after 8 hours of perfecting your O’s.
A friendly team. These people get events — and they get us.
Close to everything. Explore Calgary, or don’t. You’ll probably be too busy having fun.
