\"How to learn calligraphy in five days\" written on a piece of paper with a vase of flowers next to it.

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’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! 🙂

    1. That’s incredible and SO inspiring! I would love to take watercolor lessons myself. Cake decorating is also on my list. Happy New Year!

    1. 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?
