Do you want to learn a new skill and call it your new favourite hobby?
Do you know at heart that you want to do something creative but don't know where to start?
Trust me, I've been there.
But if there's one thing I've learned during my 6 year calligraphy practice,
is that lettering is for EVERYBODY.
Even if your handwriting isn't very neat, or if you've never even held a calligraphy pen in your hands before - you are in the right place.
With suitable tools, good guidance and some determination to practice - you'll master this skill in no time!
Imagine having relaxing practice sessions knowing exactly what you're aiming for, quality 'me' time where you can fully switch off and enjoy being creative. The thought of having a desk set up with calligraphy supplies and knowing you can escape to your 'happy place' any time you want is what I call self care!
This course is perfect for complete calligraphy newbies as well as those who have tried their hand at calligraphy before but perhaps have gotten a bit rusty and need a reminder of how much fun it can be!
Going back to practising basics always seems to reignite the love of lettering!

Hey I'm Alina from Creative Feel Designs.
I started lettering in 2015 when I was badly suffering from anxiety. I found calligraphy so therapeutic and relaxing.
Lettering positive words and quotes during my practice sessions have completely changed my mindset and made me feel at ease.
After 2 years of practicing I started my own business, I was mainly offering stationery designs, bespoke wedding stationery and worked with wonderful brands doing live event calligraphy.
I felt passionate about being able to teach this skill to others and started running local workshops in the town I lived - Brighton in the UK.
Two years down the line I have taught more than 3000 students in person and online, and I want to continue helping and sharing everything I've learned in the past 6 years with others.
