If you’ve ever looked at beautiful calligraphy and thought “I’d love to do that, but I wouldn’t know where to start…” - you’re not alone.
Maybe you’ve tried a little before, but felt unsure about the tools or frustrated when things didn’t quite flow. Or maybe calligraphy is something you’ve been quietly dreaming of trying for ages, but your inner critic keeps telling you you’re not artistic enough.
I’ve been there too. And I created this course to be exactly what I wish I’d had when I started.
With clear step-by-step guidance, tried-and-tested supply recommendations, printable workbooks, and bite-sized video lessons - you’ll feel supported every step of the way. No more guessing what nib to use or how to hold the pen. No pressure to be perfect. Just a gentle path into a creative practice that’s both relaxing and deeply rewarding.
This course is perfect for you if:
- You feel curious about calligraphy but unsure where to begin
- You’ve tried before but felt confused or overwhelmed
- You want a calm, creative hobby that feels like self-care
- You’re excited by the idea of making your own stationery, cards or gifts
- You’re ready to finally feel confident with your tools and your lettering
Whether you’re completely new or coming back to it after a break, this course is designed to help you feel confident with your tools, build strong foundations in modern calligraphy, and start creating beautiful lettering you’re proud of.

Your instructor
Hi, I'm Alina, I've been practicing calligraphy for over a decade and have helped countless students transform their lettering in a short amount of time. With experience teaching hundreds of in-person and online classes, I've seen the common struggles beginner letterers face - from shaky strokes to spacing challenges.
I'm here to guide you through these hurdles with practical techniques, clear instruction, and encouragement, so you can build confidence and find joy in your calligraphy journey!

Alina is the best teacher! Her workbooks and courses are so delightful and enjoyable. I absolutely love her lettering style and she has been the most inspirational teacher since I started learning a year and a half ago. Couldn't recommend enough.
