That’s right! I have partnered with calligrapher Madi Reid Sanders to teach you how to learn calligraphy in 5 days! After dreaming about beautiful handwriting for years, aspiring to learn calligraphy for the past few years without any local classes & only overwhelm online, I finally learned the art of calligraphy. It was easy. It was therapeutic. It was empowering. I had allowed so many factors become barriers to something I wanted to do for myself.
I met Madi last summer & discovered that, in addition to being a beautiful soul, she also has a beautiful talent – calligraphy. After having her make a sign for Adalyn & Aniston’s birthday, we talked about how easy it was to learn – if you had the right “tools.” We spent an afternoon together talking about calligraphy & then step by step, she taught me the basics, while photographer Jenny Wheat captured it. We have broken it down in to 5 easy sessions, in addition to some great bonus content that include free printable exemplars.
So, join me & see how fun & easy it is to learn calligraphy! Oh, & those gorgeous blooms? Created by the talented Emmy Ray of Handmaker of Things. You’ll be seeing more of them too!

I have wanted to find a class in calligraphy for a long time.
Can i still have the links to the calligraphy class???
They’re all included – just follow the series from start to finish using the links at the bottom of each post.
Is the left handed class a different class than the right handed one. I tried to copy the left handed worksheets but couldn’t do it any segestions.

I have recently subscribed to your blog and have had this pinned for months but I was wondering if there is a way to still receive the upper and lower case printable? On the calligraphy alphabet link there is only a link for the lower case letters, and says that uppercase letters are for subscribers only. I adore the style of your calligraphy and I would love to have the practice sheets to learn with. Thank you for your help.
Love it!! Easy instructions can’t wait to try them out 😀 being all fancy 💁🏼
Julie, I don’t have access to calligraphy pens or nibs. Can I start with regular gel ink?
You can certainly fake it with gel ink, but you’ll find you’ll get the effect with a pen and nib. Maybe start with something from your local craft/hobby store?
I would like to know more about the online calligraphy course please.
Start here and follow the links below from one lesson to the next, with free printable worksheets.
Julie, I am 89 years old and still seeking to learn and do new things…new helps old brains. Just today I vowed to do 3 things..learn calligraphy/take watercolor lessons and clean out my craft and all things closet. Now thanks to you I am on my way to #1. 2016 is off to a good start Thank you Jere
That’s incredible and SO inspiring! I would love to take watercolor lessons myself. Cake decorating is also on my list. Happy New Year!
Hi Julie,
I’m so excited to have found your blog for this. I need to learn something this soon as my wedding invitations need to go out at the end of the month and I am hoping that I will have mastered it by then so I can address them. I have already subscribed. Is there a way that you can email me the Upper Case alphabet too? Thanks so much! 🙂
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! It goes out twice a month to subscribers, so you’ll receive it soon!
Hello julie and madi I would love to follow your course please send me the details. Many thanks Jenny.
You can start the “course” here, following from one lesson to the next and bonus worksheets are emailed to subscribers once a month.
