...the tools JUST WOULDN'T WORK!
...your
self-doubt is holding you back.
...you tried YouTube and yours never looks like their calligraphy.
...it all
looks quite intimidating!
...you're struggling
to prioritise yourself enough to give it a try.
How amazing would it be if you had a clear system to follow that made learning modern calligraphy easy and fun!
Having an easy to follow system that helps you develop beautifully consistent calligraphy makes your journey fulfilling and enjoyable. Modern calligraphy is pretty easy when you have the right technique!
What if someone showed you how to avoid all of the pitfalls so your modern calligraphy journey was smooth?
Experiencing endless pitfalls can be really discouraging when learning something new. Instead imagine having someone to guide you who has done the hard work already to identify the pitfalls on your behalf... you get to skip straight to the fun.
How amazing would it feel to have a reason to prioritise your wellbeing so you can show up in the rest of life?
Imagine having a hobby that helps to slow you down and soothe your nervous system. Imagine loving something so much that it makes you find the time to do it regularly! Goodness, you might even want to make a living from it!
There is a reason Modern Calligraphy is gaining in popularity. The mental health benefits are well-documented and with a better understanding of the need for self-care, it's no wonder that modern calligraphy is all the rage. If, however, you try to self-teach, doubts can appear when your lettering is not quite as beautiful as you imagined it might be! I remember it well myself... This was my first attempt: straight into the alphabet, no guidelines, inconsistent shapes...
It doesn't have to be this way for you! Learning modern calligraphy with the correct structure and process allows you to enjoy watching your own skills flourish in a short period of time.

"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."
I was once exactly like you. I was desperately looking for the right creative outlet, to help calm my nervous system while working in a dreadfully stressful job!
I had a 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.
3 1/2 years on and I have left that stressful job (I was a secondary teacher) and enjoy 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!
Companies I have worked with:
You will need a calligraphy pen holder, some calligraphy nibs, paper suitable for calligraphy, and ink. I'll provide recommendations in The Ultimate Kit List for specific brands and products that work well for beginners
How exciting that you want to run a calligraphy business! I would certainly recommend the VIP Enrollment to you, as you get 3 hours of 1:1 business support that are tailored to your needs.

You are welcome to join Mastering Modern Calligraphy from anywhere in the world! The prices are displayed in GBP (£) but can be purchased from anywhere.
I recommend setting aside around of 1-2 hours per week for watching the video lessons and completing practice exercises. However, you can progress at your own pace, so feel free to dedicate more time if you're eager to improve faster. Short and regular sessions is often useful for developing your skills over time.
There's no specific age requirement for this course, however it is primarily designed for adults.
The good news is that Modern Calligraphy and handwriting are NOT linked! It's perfectly possible to have messy handwriting AND beautiful calligraphy (I am a perfect example of this!). Modern Calligraphy is like drawing shapes that look like letters, so as long as you take the time to learn those shapes, your lettering will be beautiful.
Yes, definitely. We provide guidance and tips specifically tailored for left-handed people to ensure that you can comfortably practice and master modern calligraphy techniques. There are some incredibly talented left-handed calligraphers out there!
The course is structured into modules, each focusing on specific aspects of modern calligraphy learning. You'll start with foundational techniques and gradually progress to more advanced skills, with plenty of practice exercises along the way.
The course content is self-paced, allowing you to learn and practice at a time that's convenient for you. However, we do offer optional live Q&A sessions where you can interact with me and fellow students. These sessions give you an opportunity to ask and burning questions you may have as well as meeting some of the other course members.
There are tasks each week that I encourage you to share in the private Facebook group. This will allow you to share your successes and I will be in there giving you any specific feedback you need to keep making progress.
The only other cost consideration is the equipment, however this can be bought relatively cheaply. I give you guidance on the best equipment to use at the beginning of the course.
Although the modules will be added to the course portal weekly, you can progress through the course at your own pace, so if you fall behind, don't worry. You'll have access to all the course materials even after the course ends, allowing you to catch up at your convenience.
Yes, you'll have lifetime access to the course materials for as long as the course exists, allowing you to revisit the lessons and continue practicing at your own pace, even after the course officially ends.
Mastering Modern Calligraphy stands out for its comprehensive curriculum, supportive community and live learning opportunities throughout the course. Because learning calligraphy had such a profound impact on my mental health, I share the therapeutic effects of practising the skill. I also focus on improving your self-confidence throughout with the hope that your time on the course helps you to develop personally as well as the actually techniques you are learning.
Yes, upon successfully completing the course, you'll receive a certificate of completion, which you can proudly showcase as evidence of your newfound skills in modern calligraphy.
