LET'S START AT THE BEGINNING.
Have you seen beautiful lettering everywhere and are ready to learn it yourself?
In this extensive course, we will walk through every single step that you need to know to become a fantastic hand letterer.
The best way to learn lettering
My friend Addi and I created this course after teaching in-person workshops (like Pinners Conference!) We always wanted to dive deeper, but a multi-night commitment for our students is tough to do so we came up with the idea to put our instructions online.
With our online classroom you can take as long as you need to master each section. Watch the course as many times as you like, your access never expires.
Plus, we're able to zoom in on our work as we go so you can see where we put our hands, how we hold the markers, and when we pause or shift for each letter.
This is the best way to learn because it's so flexible, you can fit this in your life.
An inspirational hobby
Oh, the many things we love about lettering! It has become an outlet for creativity, an escape from day-to-day tasks to a place to focus on meaningful words and thoughts.
This is a hobby you can take with you wherever you go. It's easy to share, and it adds beauty to the world around you.
Here are just a few ideas on how to add lettering to your life:
- Practice lettering a quote that brings you joy - make lettering a mindful exercise
- Add beauty to a gift by lettering a personal gift tag or card
- Personalize an event by creating your own placecards
- Celebrate by creating a birthday banner, a birth announcement, or graduation
- Decorate your space with your own lettering art (see the flourishing section)

Easy to Start
We'll teach you step-by-step, no previous experience (or good handwriting) necessary. You control the pace, so watch a section as many times as you need to get comfortable with each skill.
No Expensive Materials
Faux calligraphy is taught using markers, not expensive brush pens. This has several advantages - Markers are typically easier to find and cost much much less than brush pens, and they are easier to use! With our faux calligraphy methodology you'll be able to start faster.
Proven Success
We've literally had hundreds of people complete this course. Our in-person experience is critical because we know what questions people would ask and so we've been able to work those into the material.
