As far as supplies go, I recommend starting the course with a pencil, ruler, light-colored paper, and any pen. As you move through the lessons, you may find that you want to acquire other materials. For now, though, you can keep it simple!
TPK Premium members have access to this course through one week after the final lesson discussion (August 12, 2025). At that point, the course will be publicly released for an enrollment cost of $50, which Premium members can pay to retain access. Premium Plus members will enjoy continuous access to this course and all other TPK online courses as well. Here’s the lesson release schedule:
This lesson asks you to create a self-assessment assignment, which you’ll compare to your work after five weeks of taking the course. Then, we’ll go over basic definitions (calligraphy, typography, and hand lettering). Next, you’ll learn all about the vocabulary that you need in order to understand characters and lettering. Finally, we’ll go over all of the tools and supplies that can be useful to you as you hone your lettering skills. The Lesson 1 discussion will take place on Tuesday, June 24th.
In this lesson, we’ll go over basic block lettering forms. We’ll start with serif and sans serif, then move on to variations. Get ready to work hard and spend some quality time with your pen and paper! The Lesson 2 discussion will take place on Tuesday, July 1st.
In this lesson, we’ll cover script lettering and adding script elements to block lettering. Again, this lesson will require you to write and practice along with me. The Lesson 3 discussion will take place on Tuesday, July 15th.
In this lesson, you’ll learn about kerning, layouts, and how to design effective compositions. We’ll cover essential concepts like balance, spacing, and visual hierarchy, then walk through how to plan and build your own layouts step by step. The Lesson 4 discussion will take place on Tuesday, July 22nd.
This lesson focuses on impactful effects to help your lettering stand out. We’ll dabble in 3D lettering, ombré, color effects, intertwining letters, and adding illustrated elements. The Lesson 5 discussion will take place on Tuesday, July 29th.
In this final lesson, you’ll re-create the piece you made in Lesson 1. It’s your chance to apply everything you’ve learned — from letterform refinement to layout and effects — to the same words, and see just how much you’ve grown. You’ll end the course with a meaningful visual before-and-after that shows off your new skills and style. The final lesson discussion will take place on Tuesday, August 5th.

This is a great course where Lindsey gives clear, step by step instructions and explanations on the art of hand lettering. By breaking the process down into manageable steps you are being equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to take this art form off in your own direction. I didn’t think I was “arty” enough to do this but now I feel confident to have a go at projects and explore the numerous possibilities of hand lettering. I strongly recommend you sign up for it as you will enjoy this different art form!

Lindsey is not only a skilled and creative artist, she is an outstanding teacher. I loved this course for three reasons:
1. I learned an amazing number of styles and techniques;
2. Materials were well prepared, presented and interactive (learn by doing). Hence the videos held my attention;
3. The assignments challenged me to try new things and use materials in new ways to me.
This course left me excited about everything from addressing envelopes to lettering gifts for others. It also put me in a creative space. I’m eager to try new lettering styles, build new alphabets, use ink, markers/gel pens and paint in new ways and put them on new things like leather, mugs, clear and colored glass and more. I found myself looking at signs, labels, TV, magazines and advertisements in ways. I notice what works and what does not and I find ideas to adopt.
No matter your level (I’m a beginner) you will come away inspired and with a load of new tools in your lettering bag.

I’ve been part of Lindsey’s TPK for some years now and she continues to excel at providing quality content.
Doing the 101 Hand Lettering Course has been exponential in star quality. From the beginning to the end Lindsey has explained, shown, encouraged and advised in all aspects of creating hand lettered pieces. Making this course available as a “hands on” class has given depth and more understanding to the processes of being creative.
If you are new to this concept, or an “old hand” at using letters to be creative, there is enough in spending time with Lindsey to enrich your life in a creative way. Also, the use of Discord as a platform for sharing brings encouragement and inspiration along the journey.
Be brave, take the steps and grow!!!

Never done any hand lettering? Done a little, but want to learn more? Done a lot, but want to hone your skills? This course if for you! Lindsey takes you through six clear lessons that start at “base camp” and gently, effectively lead you “up the mountain.” She appropriately stretches you in each lesson, never letting you feel “oxygen deprived” as you scale new heights in your hand lettering journey. Each lesson covers something new, and even if you feel like “there is no way I can do that!” I can promise you can! Lindsey does a great job of making sure you have all the tools you need to begin or enhance your hand lettering abilities, giving practical tips and advice in each lesson. I can’t recommend this course enough!
