Focused Calligraphy Practice Sessions: Improve Your Technique in 15 Minutes a Day

Ready to make real progress with your calligraphy but not sure what to practice next? This class brings together 20 bite-sized lessons from my popular Tutorial Tuesday series, designed to help you build confidence, improve your technique, and enjoy more flow in your lettering practice.

Each session is around 10–15 minutes long, perfect for squeezing into your creative routine. With a focus on one specific concept per video, you’ll find it easier to stay consistent and see real improvement - without feeling overwhelmed.

What You’ll Learn
Through a variety of fun, focused exercises, you’ll be guided to:

• Practise essential calligraphy drills like compound curves and letter joins

• Explore flow, rhythm, and pressure changes for more expressive lettering

• Refine your use of guidelines, slant lines, and baseline balance

• Develop confidence in specific letters including H, W, K and more

• Experiment with stylised initials, themed prompts, and embellishments

Why Take This Class

Practising calligraphy isn’t just about repeating drills - it’s about purposeful repetition that moves you forward. These sessions are short but targeted, helping you build muscle memory, discover your own style, and stay creatively inspired.

Whether you’ve hit a plateau or just want to build a more intentional practice habit, this class will meet you where you are and help you keep progressing - with joy and ease.
