One of the secrets to success in any endeavor is to keep things interesting! Calligraphy is no exception, which is why I put together this Creative Calligraphy Challenge worksheet. The worksheet is intended to challenge you, stimulate your creativity, and encourage you to keep going with your calligraphy practice!
How to Use It
First, download the Creative Calligraphy Challenge worksheet by clicking here. Print it out on 32# laserjet paper (or any other dip pen-friendly paper), and retrieve your favorite dip pen and ink!

Next, pick any letter of the alphabet. Write a version of that letter that fits each adjective on the worksheet. Every letter should look different, even if some of the adjectives are similar!

Once you’ve completely filled out the worksheet with one letter, print out another copy and move on to another letter! You can continue until you’ve filled out a worksheet for all letters of the alphabet (or you can just work on your favorites and call it good).
How This Worksheet Will Help You
Learning calligraphy can be stressful if you judge your creations harshly. This worksheet helps you to loosen up and realize that, at the end of the day, “calligraphy” means artistic writing!

I also like this worksheet because it encourages you to think outside of the box of calligraphy styles that already exist. You may create a letter that you really like, and you can make a whole alphabet that echoes the style of that letter!

The last way this worksheet helps you, of course, is by encouraging you to pick up that dip pen and write! Anything that gets you writing can’t be bad … after all, every time you write, your skill level improves that much more.
Enjoy the worksheet, and if you’re on social media, I’d love to see what you come up with! You can find the TPK Facebook page here, or tag @thepostmansknock (or hashtag #thepostmansknock) on Instagram!
