Getting started can be the hardest hurdle in your hand lettering journey. The array of lovely lettering inspiration across resources like Pinterest and Instagram can be daunting. Join me in this beginner hand lettering course as we explore the tools, tips, and basic exercises you will need to build a foundation for your own unique lettering style.
No prior knowledge or materials will be needed. You can get started with whatever you have available in your home right now! In this course, we will cover supplies and brushes (from Tombows to Pentels and more), basic brush strokes, connecting letters, and forming freehand words and phrases.

For the class project, we’re going to letter a phrase or sentence of advice to our younger selves. This can be anything you’d want to help your younger self out with or help an old you feel more confident or brave about. You can do a simple “you can do it” or you can use a quote that you like.
