Have you been learning lettering and now wanna try your hand (literally) at creating layouts, quotes or just some sentences that don't look like words simply stacked on top of one another?

This is a BEGINNER level layouts class that will cover the following topics:

You will need a basic understanding of brush or hand lettering in order for this class to be helpful. Please check out the other lettering classes offered by Black Chalk Co if you need to brush up!
