Let's begin your lettering journey! This week, we'll get to know our creative tools, including brush pens, fine liners, and markers. You'll learn the amazing trick of 'faux calligraphy' to create a classic look with any pen you own!

We'll then get into the rhythm with essential drills, mastering the foundational upstrokes, downstrokes, loops, and playful bounce that are the building blocks of beautiful lettering.

This week is all about giving your letters life and personality! We will focus on the modern lowercase alphabet, learning the secrets of playful 'bounce' lettering to make your words dance across the page.

You'll practice creating seamless connections between letters and start putting it all together by writing short, beautiful words like 'hello,' 'love,' and 'joy.'

It's time for capital letters to take the stage! You'll learn the modern uppercase alphabet and explore fun variations, discovering how to create both quirky and elegant styles. We'll then start mixing your new uppercase and lowercase skills to begin lettering beautiful quotes.

Why stick to one style when you can mix and match? This week, we'll play with combining different fonts like bold block lettering and elegant script in a single, eye-catching design.

You'll practice your new skills by creating cool, stylized phrases like “Shine Bright” or “Good Vibes Only.”

Let's bring your lettering to life with a splash of colour! Using water-based brush pens, you’ll learn amazing blending techniques to create beautiful ombre (light-to-dark) gradients in your words.

We’ll also experiment with creating gorgeous watercolour washes and splash effects for your backgrounds.

Add a touch of elegance with beautiful decorative details. This week, you'll learn how to add stylish swirls, swashes, and flourishes to your lettering without making it look cluttered.

We’ll also practice creating decorative word endings and framing your words with beautiful borders, ribbons, and banners.

Let's combine lettering with charming illustrations! This week is all about learning to draw simple doodles that pair perfectly with your words, like delicate florals, leaves, stars, and hearts.

You'll practice creating beautiful wreaths and frames around your lettering, perfect for card-sized designs.

Take your lettering off the page and onto new surfaces! This week, we'll experiment with different materials to see how they transform your work.

You'll try creating a magical look on black paper with metallic pens, a rustic vibe on kraft paper, and even design your own personalized mail art on envelopes. We'll also play with cool chalkboard-style lettering techniques.

It's time to become the designer of your own masterpiece! This week, you'll choose your final project from a range of exciting options, like a poster, a set of greeting cards, a custom journal cover, or a lettered tote bag.

You'll then plan your unique creation, deciding on the composition, lettering style, and perfect colour scheme.

Our creative journey culminates in this wonderful final showcase. We’ll start with a group discussion to reflect on our progress and shared experiences.

Then, it’s time to proudly display and photograph your collection of finished work. Finally, we’ll celebrate our amazing accomplishments together with tea, coffee, and some well-deserved festive treats.
