Its mental health benefits are profound, and as we become more mindful of self-care, it's no wonder this art form is flourishing. Yet, teaching yourself can be daunting, especially when your lettering doesn't turn out as you envisioned. I remember feeling the same way—jumping into the alphabet without any guidelines, ending up with wobbly, inconsistent shapes. Trust me, you're not alone!
But your journey can be different. By embracing a structured approach to learning modern calligraphy, you'll soon witness your skills blossoming and find joy in your artistic growth.
Imagine the tranquility of sitting down with your calligraphy pen, letting your worries fade as you focus on each stroke.

Here are some testimonials from previous calligraphy students...
"I completed Jane's Modern Calligraphy course online, just after getting engaged - I am always on the look out for ways to DIY and was really intrigued to incorporate calligraphy into my wedding.
Jane was engaging from the start and made a remote group of strangers feel like best friends. The worksheets were stunning and of such a fab quality - you could tell Jane has put her heart into her passion and was always on hand for support and helpful feedback.
I took any opportunity to practise my learned calligraphy skills - which built my confidence in other lettering (even physical!) - and was so excited to use them as part of my wedding stationery and signage. There is no better feeling than being able to respond, 'Thanks, I made it!'.
Jane was always cheering us on and always around for advice and support (or just a chat!) long after the course ended."

Why Should you believe in this calligraphy course?
Because I've
been there!
I was once exactly like you. I was desperately looking for the right creative outlet, to help me to look after myself while working in a dreadfully stressful job as a teacher.
I had my lightbulb moment when I discovered modern calligraphy... WOW this is THE HOBBY for me! But it didn't take long to realise I wasn't getting anywhere with the free YouTube videos where they made it look so easy. I just couldn't do it alone. Taking a proper course with support allowed me to feel good about my progress. In very little time, modern calligraphy became my lifeline when all around me was crumbling. Every day I look forward to the evening when I could get the pen back in my hand.
I have since left that stressful job (I was a secondary teacher) and absolutely adore helping more and more people to fall in love with calligraphy. I am 100% invested in your journey because I want you to feel the joy just like I do!
