flourishing the alphabet can help you

Yes! This course does not include the basics of calligraphy. Ideally, you should be comfortable writing the Copperplate alphabet with pointed pen tools — that’s what this course is based on and intended for.

Check out my resource hubs if you need some help with pointed pen calligraphy or Copperplate.

The “right time” to start learning flourishing differs from person to person. Ideally, you should be able to write the Copperplate alphabet fairly comfortably without needing to trace or reference an exemplar.

In the course, I’ve made it a point to write each letter in standard Copperplate before flourishing — but that is just quick revision!

You only need Internet connection, a printer and your preferred set of tools for pointed pen calligraphy. Just use whatever tools you’re already comfortable with for your calligraphy practice.

Flourishing the Alphabet is great if you’ve already learned the basics of calligraphy, and want to take it to another level with flourishing. Don’t worry if you have no experience with flourishing! This is a beginner-friendly course that starts with the theory and basic principles of flourishing.

But if for any reason this course doesn’t fit your learning objectives, don’t worry. There’s a 14-day no-questions-asked (in good faith!) refund policy.

This course, especially the theories and flourish families framework woven throughout, can be helpful regardless of your tool or medium.

But Flourishing the Alphabet is built with pointed pen calligraphy in mind, so:

• If you’re doing digital calligraphy, the course doesn’t cover how to use and manipulate a digital brush for flourishing.
• If you’re doing brush pen calligraphy, the handouts (with a 6mm x-height) might be too small for brush pens.

Flourishing the Alphabet is a self-paced online course. 

As soon as you purchase the course, you’ll get immediate access to start learning right away!

You’ll have ongoing access for the lifetime of the course, so you can learn at your own pace. Go through the lessons slowly or quickly, or rewatch the videos as many times as you need to revise. You’ll also get access to any future updates I may make.
