“There’s definitely a learning curve with pointed pen calligraphy… and that doesn’t mean that you’re not talented or artistic enough or creative enough!”

- Shinah

It’s that time of year again — time for my 5-day, Pointed Pen Calligraphy Basics Challenge!

In this challenge, you get the low-down on exactly what tools to buy plus a FREE calligraphy lesson every day to get you comfortable with the basics. You also get access to a super-secret pop-up Facebook group where you can meet your fellow students and access resources. It’s like a party with pens, and it’s a LOT of fun!

I only offer this twice a year, so you won’t want to miss out!

I’m so sure that you’re going to love this challenge that I want to give you a taste of what to expect. In this episode of The Shinah Show, I share a few juicy little snippets from the live chats that I’ve done with participants of past challenges.

These chats aren’t just about how to form your letters or hold your pen (although we definitely cover those, too). 

You’ll hear about the challenges I faced when I first started doing calligraphy. 

You’ll learn what being a parent and learning calligraphy have in common. 

And you’ll discover how you might be sabotaging your own efforts (and how to strengthen your skills instead)!

Check out the episode and then sign up for the challenge!

Tune into this episode of The Shinah Show to learn:

• Why you need to be patient and kind to yourself when you first start a new skill (especially calligraphy)  
• Effective and ineffective ways of practicing your letters 
• My own personal calligraphy journey (and why I love it SO much more than law)!
