The letterforms you NEED to know
How letters in modern calligraphy actually work - the structure, the shapes, and the logic that makes everything feel intentional rather than wobbly.

what you'll learn
Spacing changes everything
The thing nobody tells you that makes the single biggest difference in how your calligraphy looks. Seriously, it's spacing.
Proper weight lines
How pressure creates the thick-thin variation that gives modern calligraphy its signature look, and how to make it feel natural in your hand rather than forced.
Mood & composition
How to invoke a feeling with your lettering, choose a vibe that fits the words, and put together your first simple composition with confidence.
Also included

A handbook of calligraphy practice guides to use alongside every session. Think of it as your warm-up companion... this will be what you reach for for every time you sit down to practice!
This class is for you if...
- You've been curious about modern calligraphy and have no idea where to start

- You have a pen somewhere in your house and about twenty minutes to spare
Student love
Your calligraphy course was the best handwriting course of l've taken and it was what finally made it click in my brain! I've learned how to do beautiful hand lettering because of you and of course, practice practice practice. So THANK YOU!!
Ms. Dean is easy to follow. Her classes are bite sized and each tidbit is complete. She allows lots of places to practice the craft she is teaching. I am quite impressed with the level of writing I am attaining.
Peggy is really easy to follow and I had a super good time working alongside during the examples - nothing was too fast. Perfect for someone interested in expanding their different forms of handwriting :)
Peggy is the best instructor ever! I have been trying to learn this type of writing for years with no success. She provides clear, precise instructions with the best examples!
As a beginner who's been trying to learn calligraphy on her own for months, Peggy's instruction was so eye-opening. I finally understand how to form my letters and make them look great and not like my own handwriting. Very competent teacher, would recommend to anyone!

I made this class because modern calligraphy has a reputation for being harder to learn than it actually is. The truth is that most people struggle not because they lack talent or steady hands, but because nobody ever explained the fundamentals clearly.
Once you understand how letterforms work, what spacing does, and why weight lines matter, the whole thing starts to click. This mini course is that click. Four sessions, totally free, and a genuinely solid place to start.
