FAQs
Can I attend the course from another country?
Yes! The course is fully online with videos and learning materials accessible any time, so you can join from anywhere in the world and learn at your own pace.
How much time will this course take?
The course is designed to fit comfortably around different schedules. Most students will spend around 2 hours per week on lessons, plus any additional practice time they'd like. New modules open weekly to create a gentle, manageable learning pace. (I'd much rather you enjoy the process than feel rushed or overwhelmed) I'll be providing guidance over 6 weeks, but you'll have plenty of flexibility to revisit lessons and complete the course in your own time.
What tools/supplies do I need?
You'll need a pointed nib, oblique pen holder, ink, good quality copy paper, and a pencil for warm-ups. I'll guide you through exactly what to use and how to prepare everything inside the course. Most of these tools can be easily purchased from your local pen or art store, or online through places like Amazon.
What is 'Extended Access'?
The course is structured as a 6-week guided program, but “extended access” means you won't lose access once the 6 weeks are over. You'll be able to revisit the lessons, worksheets, and demonstrations in your own time after the course ends for 6 months from the date of enrolment. This gives you the flexibility to move at your own pace, practice as much as you need, and return to the material later on.
Can I access the course after 6 months?
Yes! After the initial 6 months, you can request a self-paced retake at any time at no extra charge, so you can revisit the material whenever you need. It will just be in 6 months timeframes. Just send through an enquiry.
How will I receive 'Guided Support'?
Guided support means you'll be supported throughout the course as you learn. You'll be able to submit your homework for review, and I'll provide personalised feedback to help you improve. There will also be space to ask questions each week, along with a live demo and Q&A session where I can guide you in real time. It's designed to make sure you're not learning on your own, but feel supported every step of the way.
Spreading my love for calligraphy...
My primary focus is on Copperplate Script - a timeless script that is transferrable to many different calligraphy styles, and Calligraphic Flourishing - the artistic embellishments that compliments calligraphy. Over the years, I have taught workshops both locally in Australia and internationally. I have also developed learning materials that have been used by thousands of students worldwide.
Through my experience of teaching, I've developed methods that can help students with little to no artistic or handwriting experience, to upskilling those with existing calligraphy skills.
