“I discovered Blink Lettering nearly 2 years ago when I was looking to brush up my calligraphy. I was instantly hooked by Milly's friendly personality and her supportive teaching style. She is super knowledgeable, she takes the time to explain everything in details which makes it easy to follow, and she gives plenty of support and tips to help you progress with your practice. I'm so glad to be part of her community.”

Course structure
This is a 6 week long course, however you will get lifetime access to all the content, so you can totally go through it at your own pace. Perfect if you work full time, or having kids running around.
I believe it's easiest to learn when you have an amazing community around you and there isn't an overwhelming amount of content.
So that's why I have structured this as a 6 week course with officially starts on 5th September, when the videos for Week 1 will be launched. I encourage all my students to do 15 - 25 mins each day, to build that muscle memory. However all the weekly videos are pre-recorded, so you can watch them in your own time, once they are released.
Week 1: Lowercase Letters (a-l)
Discover how the calligraphy drills come together to create beautiful lowercase letters
Week 2: Lowercase Letters (M-Z)
Learn how to create the rest of the lowercase alphabet
Week 3: Connecting letters
Learn how to connect lowercase letters to create beautiful words in calligraphy
Week 4: UPPERCASE LETTERS
Add an extra spark to your calligraphy with beautiful uppercase letters
Week 5: Numbers & Punctuation
Numbers can be tricky, but in this week I break down how you can easily create them.
WEEK 6: FINAL PROJECTS
Create 3 fun final projects using the skills you’ve learn throughout the course!
“Earlier this year I started to look at taking up calligraphy . Despite there being a huge amount of information out there I didn’t know where to start. I needed someone to critique what I’d been doing without going to a class. I found Milly’s Blink Lettering page on Facebook and Instagram. She has a FB group page for each of her courses where you can post up photos of your work. Milly is on hand to give feedback & advice on how to improve. The group has a really friendly vibe with people sharing ideas & complimenting each others work. I thoroughly recommend Milly’s courses, they have given me the confidence to take up calligraphy & to continue with it as a hobby.”

“Before finding Milly's course I had tried the hard way looking at YouTube videos and Google not understanding what I did wrong. Milly explains things with ease like how to hold your pen and when to put pressure. She has managed to break it down so that learning brush calligraphy is easy and fun! That's why I have recommended Milly to all my friends whom have wanted to learn brush calligraphy and why I'll continue to send people her way, her and her courses are that amazing!”

FAQs
What if i don’t finish the course in 6 weeks?
You will get lifetime access to the course, so you will be able to download the workbook and watch all the videos after the live course ends. This means you can work through it in your own time, or go back to parts of the course you want to try again.
HOW DO I ACCESS THE WORKbook & VIDEOS?
When you sign up to the challenge you will be able to access everything on your Teachable account. This is an easy-to-use platform where you will be able to find everything in one place! The main content for BBL: Basics for Beginners will be released from 6th September onwards, with content being released throughout the 6 week course.
I have terrible handwriting, does this matter?
I’ll let you in on a little secret… I have terrible handwriting too! Handwriting and calligraphy are different though, so even if your handwriting is awful, this challenge will help you learn how to create beautiful letters.
I don’t have a printer, can I still use the workbook?
Yes! I have laid out the workbook so it’s easy to follow along, plus there is over 5 hours of video content to help you through the course. This means you can follow along using a separate piece of paper.
I have another question, can I contact you?
Of course. You can email me at hello@blinklettering.co.uk
“I feel incredibly at ease with Milly. Her teaching videos are fantastic with amazing tips, like how to hold the pen or position the paper to name a few, which help you complete the exercises to the best of your ability. She is incredibly calm and patient when teaching and I never felt as though I couldn’t do something but instead felt as though I ‘understood’ what was being asked of me without the fancy terms and language that would just go over my head! It’s also lovely to actually see the process taking place in real time rather than a ‘this is what it should look like’. I highly recommend completing courses from Milly of calligraphy is something you wish to learn or improve because after all practice makes progress!”
