The Course

From tools to projects this course is broken down into manageable chunks to enable you to learn Modern Calligraphy at your own pace.


First you will learn what tools to use and how to use them. Then we start off with some simple shapes so that you can get used to the pen and learn how to achieve those thing and thick strokes which are unique to Modern Calligraphy.


Once you're comfortable with the basic shapes, you then move onto letters. With all the prep wrok you've done in the drills, letters suddenly feel achievable!


You'll finish off with a couple of projects to put those new found skills to work

Your instructor

I’m Larissa, I’ve been practicing Modern Calligraphy for 7 years (yes, it can be that addictive!) and over the past 4 years I have taught 100’s of students. You can now access all this knowledge online, so that no matter where you are, you too can learn this beautiful skill.

So what’s kept me interested for this long? The versatility! Once you know the basics you can use it on pretty much anything you set your mind to, such as:

Windows

Gift Tags

Greeting cards

Pottery

Digital Illustrations

The list goes on..

So if you would like to learn from someone with an abundance of experience and a passion for teaching then I’d love for you to enrol with us!

“Larissa’s course is simply brilliant. I loved how the sessions were broken down into bite-sized 20-minute chunks, making it easy to fit into your day and progress at your own pace.
Larissa is an exceptional teacher, taking her time to explain every detail thoroughly. She covers everything from the types of nibs and papers to use, to how to clean and care for your tools, and of course, the essential techniques of mark making and letter formations.”
