So, you want to improve your pointed-pen calligraphy skills. But how?

Here's the secret: PRACTICE.

Consistent practice is the #1 solution to getting your calligraphy where you want it to be. Now the problem is, WHAT to practice. So many beginners jump straight into words and hope for the best, but the real improvement comes with drill repetition.

Over the course of 5 days, we're going to jump start your practice routine with drills, tips & instructions that will set you on a path of more consistent calligraphy practice. Laura will do every drill in real-time, close up footage for you to follow along, all week long!

By taking this FREE challenge, you'll see real improvement in your calligraphy skills over the course of 5 days.

In just 5 days of consistent practice, you'll have:

Better consistency
Less shaky upstrokes
Less snagging/catching on the paper
Less ink blobs
Improved troubleshooting skills
Increased confidence and accountability

"So glad I joined this challenge, and actually participated each day!! Thank you for putting on this challenge group. I compared some writing from day 1 to day 5 and I can tell a difference. Especially with my up strokes. I feel like I have learned so much!!!"

- Jessica

"Thanks so much for this little push, I had my beginner kit for a couple of months without even opening it, but this lit just the right fire."

- Stacia

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the challenge start and finish?
This is a 5-day challenge that starts September 24 and ends September 28, 2018.
How long do I have access to the course?
This free 5-day challenge is only available the 5 days that the challenge takes place. Logging in & practicing daily is the challenge! If you miss a day, we will offer some “catch up” time during the week.
I have never held a calligraphy pen, is this course for me?
Our 5-day challenge does not teach you the art of calligraphy, so if you have zero experience with the art, we very highly recommend our starter kit + video tutorial to get the best tools for beginners and instructions on how to use them. We offer a 20% off coupon code to use in the shop once you register for the challenge.
I have my own supplies. Can I use them?
Yes, if you have paper & ink that work well together, you are more than welcome to use them. Your paper should be calligraphy quality to allow for the best experience, and we will provide recommendations in the supply checklist in case you aren’t sure what to use or have been struggling with yours {hint, if you have a lot of ink bleeds & blobs, it’s most likely your paper + ink combination!}.
What happens when I enroll?
You’ll have access to the challenge introduction and will receive a supply checklist. Otherwise, you’ll receive a reminder the day before the challenge starts and then each day you will receive an email from us plus the drills & videos for that day. Laura will be doing every drill with you in real-time.
I already took a previous practice challenge, can I sign up again?
Yes! We'd love to have you join us for another round of practice. Based on great feedback from past courses, we changed the curriculum around and switched course platforms for better ease of use and more focused drills. We think you'll love the new pace and course layout!
I already know how to do calligraphy, should I take this challenge?
Yes! Practice is the key to continued growth as a calligrapher at any stage and everyone can benefit from drill practice. This is a really fun week with fellow calligraphers all encouraging one another as we go. Your practice begins September 24 – 28th!
When do I receive the 20% off coupon for supplies?
When you sign up, you'll get access to the course as well as a confirmation email. Your coupon code will be inside the "Introduction" section of the course as well as in your email.

Your practice begins September 24 – 28th!
See you in class.
