Hotel Blackfoot.
Stay upstairs. Learn downstairs.
Flourish is back at Hotel Blackfoot for 2027. It's our festival headquarters, so your workshops, lunches and evening events are all under one roof.

More ink.
Less commute.
When the festival is in the same building as your bed, you get more time at the table, more time with your teachers, and more of the late-night conversations everyone remembers.
Workshops downstairs
Forgot your favourite nib? It's a short elevator ride away, not a drive across town.
Food and drinks on site
Grab a coffee before class and keep the conversation going over dinner without leaving the building.
A team that knows us
The hotel staff hosted Flourish last year and know exactly what a room full of calligraphers needs.
Calgary close by
Downtown, restaurants and the city's sights are an easy trip when you want a break from the desk.
A festival rate,
just for Flourish.
We hold a block of rooms at Hotel Blackfoot for festival guests. Book early, because when the block is full, the festival rate is gone.

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.
