This is the very first calligraphy course I’ve purchased. Up until now, I’ve made use of various free resources. I have not been disappointed. This is a very well presented course which allows you to go at your own pace–very important to me. Also, Lindsey responds to you if you have questions about the course and is very kind–never makes you feel like you’re a bother. In fact, she’s very encouraging. I would (and have) recommend it to anyone who has a basic skill level and wants to take the next steps.

I have completed most of the course and can highly recommend it. It is a much easier way to improve your calligraphy skills than trying to use books or YouTube videos. The class videos are excellent and I love having the easily accessible worksheets to print out as many times as I need to feel comfortable with my new skills. It also helped me to organize all of my supplies and clarify which inks and nibs I really like working with. I would also recommend it even if you’ve already done the beginners course, which I also recommend.

Lindsey is an amazing teacher and artist! She breaks all of the lessons down into bite size pieces, explains throughly without being long winded, and includes a wonderful worksheet packet. If you have questions, she responds quickly and is extremely knowledgable. This is my third course purchased from her (in addition to a few of her other projects and worksheets). You will not be disappointed in anything she creates and I highly recommend this course in particular for the person learning calligraphy, but looking for the “next step”.

— Expand Your Skills with these Essentials
If you’re an intermediate calligrapher, there are a few supplies in the TPK Supplies Shop that are a “must” in order to give you project range and build on your skills.
Many of the items in the TPK Supplies Shop are one-of-a-kind items, like our Brause EF66 pens that feature hand-cut, folded, and molded flanges. Our iron gall ink is an exclusive collaboration between Simon Rous of Scribblers and TPK, and the TPK Finetec palette isn’t available anywhere else. Supplies that are more widely available are competitively priced, and TPK offers support and tutorials that you won’t find on other merchant websites. Purchase Bleed Proof White ink from TPK, for example, and you’re supporting the creation of a detailed tutorial over how to use it. Here’s to shopping small and knowing your merchant!
