We’re here! Today is the final lesson in calligraphy, honestly, it’s a few tips & reminders…you’ve already done the hard work. Thank you SO much for joining me on this journey & learning calligraphy with me. I know you’ve heard this saying all too many times before, but practice makes perfect! If you follow some of the great calligraphers on Instagram* {and you should, they share beautiful eye candy & inspirational quotes}, you’ll see that they practice too, & often!
Now that you’ve learned the basics, you can practice & explore fonts! I know you’ve seen fonts out there that you have been dying to explore. Do it! I’ve been busy pinning some gorgeous calligraphy alphabets for you, & myself, once I’ve mastered our printable alphabet.
A couple tips to keep in mind:
if you hear scratching, you need to adjust how you’re holding your pen
letter & word spacing are just as important as the strokes of a letter
again, it’s okay to start from the beginning
lift up your pen if you need to. no one will know but you
have different text weights of card stock that don’t feather or bleed
use a wet paper towel to clean your nib
you can never practice basic formation letters too much
have fun!

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing these steps! I always wanted to learn Calligraphy. Very helpful. Thank you again!
Hi! I would be grateful if you would share what kind of sheet you are using. I’m a beginner and I’m just looking online for a practice sheet to be used. however there are tons and lots of specifications. I dont know which one is good for me. Thanks a lot!
It said that if I signed up, I could receive some materials via email, but I have not received anything on calligraphy, instead just about different things. Could you look into this?
They used to go out regularly when the series was going on, now bonus materials just go out once a month.
