Go from a lettering newbie to an expert in three sessions during Hand Lettering Boot Camp!

This three part course will teach you how to use the writing skills you already have (no matter what your hand writing looks like!) to hand lettering like a pro in no time. In each session, we will work through a themed hand lettering workbook created by Shannon at Wright Lettering. At the first session we'll go over all the basics of hand lettering, learn to use a brush pen, and practice lower case script letters and words. The second session explores upper case letters and how to flourish your words. The final session culminates with ways to style words. All three workbooks include lots of practice prompts to help you learn. 

Included with your registration will be printed and digital copies of each workbook (three total), a Tombow Lettering in Color kit (a $35 value) with various sized brush pens, and expert advice from Shannon.
