My work is inspired by a love of calligraphy, lettering and all things botanical.
Whether you’re here to enhance your lettering skills or simply to explore my work you’ve come to the right place.

 

Learn with me

My goal is to help lettering enthusiasts and creatives improve their calligraphy and drawing techniques. I’ll guide you through the core skills: related letter shapes, letter and word spacing capital letterforms and more importantly I’ll open your eyes to good lettering to increase your visual awareness.

My teaching is not delivered as a formula; once you have the necessary information I’ll ask: “What are you going to do with it?” and encourage you to navigate your own creative path of learning-making-learning-making, getting better and better. This is how you’ll find your own ‘voice’ and become more confident in your creative decision-making.

I love teaching face to face and creating a lively, collaborative atmosphere of shared ideas, knowledge and expertise.

 
 

Core skills

Traditional calligraphy and drawing are the two core skills of my practise.

It is a continuous cycle of: experimentation, frustration, reflection and creation.
It can be challenging but it’s great fun.
