Instagram course Mastering Calligraphy

Mastering calligraphy: ” … every artist was first an amateur”

Let’s be honest: calligraphy is quite difficult and it takes a lot of practice to develop your (steady) hand. But it is also a skill that anyone can learn: as long as you know what you are doing and why. So to help you get started, I have developed a brand new Instagram course Mastering Calligraphy: an online course which you can follow from anywhere via Instagram! How convenient is that?!


“This course is especially for everyone who wants to learn calligraphy – without taking short cuts –
but isn’t looking for a comprehensive course with hours of video footage to go through.”


The course is interesting if … :

  • you are new to (Copperplate) calligraphy and you would love to learn, but have no idea where or how to start;
  • you have tried calligraphy yourself, but it doesn’t feel you’re on the right track;
  • you are practicing for a while now, but you don’t see as much progress as you would expect/like;
  • you need a refresher course because you haven’t been practicing for a while now;
  • you already using Instagram (a lot!) as a great source of inspiration and/or to find tips to learn calligraphy

In other words, stop looking. This course might be exactly what you need right now!

The lessons are live recorded via Instagram and saved for you to watch and rewatch. Raw footage!

  • Why do I only have 2 months to watch the videos/content?

The longer it takes you to finish a course, the more likely you won’t make it to the end.
