In the Fall of 2014 some talented work buddies, Sam and Ning, and I decided to broaden our horizons and take on a new Skillshare after the success of the Spencer Charles class (Lettering in Illustrator). Our inner grandmas wanted to go old skool and try out calligraphy so we started Molly Jacques' Introduction to the Art of Modern Calligraphy. Months later we are still hooked!
Now once a week we dedicate one evening after work to the practice of calligraphy and brush pen lettering. With many instagram accounts for inspiration (bow down to the master that is Seb Lester) we now have #typetuesdays rocking some sweet scribes.
Highly recommend both classes on Skillshare. It's great to have both the digital and good ol' hand rendered skillz broken down into bite-size classes. Takes the fear out of it and the hand lettering is simply cathartic after a long day of staring at a screen.
