So this is a little video showing you how I connect my letters together to create words. You can see it's not difficult - it just takes a lot of practice which you can do with a pencil while you are working it out.

This book is a fantastic guide for anyone who wants to dive into the world of calligraphy. Bugbee’s teaching style is warm and encouraging, making you feel like she’s right there with you, guiding you through each stroke and flourish. If you’re looking to explore calligraphy in a fun and rewarding way, this book is an absolute must-have.

Here's a video project of how to make a brush lettering quote with a gradient ink effect, in this tutorial I have used a light blue coloured Pentel Touch Brush Sign Pen and dipped it into a Herbin ink (any fountain pen ink will do).

I’ve added a new brush lettering practice download for you today using the words I sent out yesterday. This one is all about playful composition and experimenting with scale.

This November, I had the absolute pleasure of organising a very special calligraphy workshop: welcoming the incredibly talented Barbara Calzolari over from Italy to teach a beginner-friendly Spencerian course here in London.

I was delighted to be invited as a guest speaker by Milly at Blink Lettering for her 2025 The Calligraphy Collection session, held in Exeter. It was such a pleasure to be part of an event that celebrates creativity, craftsmanship and the calligraphy community in such a thoughtful and inspiring way.

I was delighted to take part in Manuscript Pen Company’s CalliFest 2025, leading an online workshop as part of this wonderful celebration of calligraphy and creativity. CalliFest brings together calligraphers and lettering artists from around the world to mark World Calligraphy Day with free workshops, demonstrations and inspiration for all skill levels.

To celebrate World Calligraphy Day 2025, I was delighted to spend the day at the beautiful Fortnum & Mason stationery department, partnering with Manuscript Pen Company to demonstrate their calligraphy pens, nibs and inks.

One of the greatest joys of working as a calligrapher is collaborating with creative teams who truly value detail, atmosphere and craftsmanship. This recent brush lettering project for a very extravagant birthday party in London, planned and designed by Lillingston Events, was exactly that.
