Across 4 structured weeks, we’ll move from the very basics to creating finished pieces you’ll be proud of.

Week 1
We begin by getting comfortable with the tools and materials. You’ll learn how to assemble your pen, manage ink flow, and see how small adjustments in posture and pressure can make a big difference. We’ll practise the foundational strokes of calligraphy and start turning them into clear, confident lowercase and uppercase letters. This week is all about building strong, supportive foundations.

Week 2
We move on to connecting letters and forming words, while exploring the difference between baseline and bouncy calligraphy. The focus this week is on fluency and rhythm, helping your lettering feel more natural and relaxed as you gain confidence.

Week 3
With the basics in place, we’ll explore simple composition. You’ll practise putting phrases together thoughtfully and begin working towards a final project, using your new skills in a calm and intentional way.

Week 4
In our final session, we’ll bring everything together. We’ll explore beginner-friendly flourishing and create a set of cards decorated with small illustrated elements such as a wreath, simple florals, or other light details that complement your lettering. It’s a lovely way to celebrate how far you’ve come. Four weeks of steady practice builds real momentum, and you’ll be able to see and feel your progress.
