Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need good handwriting to learn calligraphy?
Not at all! Calligraphy is a learned skill based on drawing individual shapes and strokes, not writing quickly like handwriting. Many students start with messy writing and create beautiful lettering!
What supplies do I need?
I include a detailed list of recommended tools with links. All your supplies will come to less than $30.
How long will I have access to the course?
You have 60 days to go through the program. This curriculum is based on my 4-week Intensive Workshop I teach in person, with bonus videos and lessons. You could get through the entire class in 6 weeks, but I added more time on because life happens!
After 60 days, you'll be charged $19 a month to retain access to the course. Why? To hold you accountable for completing the work. It is too often that we get excited about a new hobby, only to purchase the materials and let them collect dust. This subscription model provides a bit of urgency for you to get through the lessons in a timely manner, while having an option to continue having access to the resource as long as you need.
What if I’ve never used a dip pen before?
Perfect - this course is made for complete beginners, and I’ll walk you through it step by step.
