Modern Brush Calligraphy at Home

Beginner Calligraphy — Learn Beautiful Lettering (3-Class Series).



3 x 1 hour Class size 1 to 10 (public dates), 1 to 50   $200

A calm, guided class where you'll actually learn to letter beautifully, at your own pace.
This is a live, interactive class, not a lecture or a webinar. It's just you (or you + a friend), with real-time guidance and personal feedback as you learn.
Learn modern calligraphy from scratch and walk away writing letters you're proud of. No experience or good handwriting needed.
I'll guide you step by step through how to hold your pen, basic strokes, and your first words. We go at your pace, and you can ask questions anytime. This is your class, and I tailor each session to where you are and what you want to create.
This is calm, focused instruction, the opposite of a crowded "sip and script" night. Take it from anywhere: your couch, your favorite café, or a friend's living room.
Across three sessions, you'll learn the full lowercase alphabet mindfully, one session at a time. Between classes, message me for feedback on your practice. I'm here between sessions too.
Bring your own projects too. I can help you address wedding envelopes, write place cards, or letter anything you're working on.
I design all my own practice worksheets. Print at home for free, or I'll mail you a professional set before class (+$15).
Perfect as a creative gift, a weekly reset, or a new ritual with a friend.

Recent reviews of Modern Brush Calligraphy at Home

  • 5/5 from Ashley K., attended Feb 2024: I took a series of classes with Kara over the winter and she was a great teacher! I really came to love the art of modern brush calligraphy and am excited to use my new skills. She was always open to answering my many questions and told me I could reach out to her anytime in between sessions as well. When I did, she responded promptly and provided me with the answers I was looking for. She shared a lot of really helpful practice worksheets with me that she prepared and gave me guidance on which supplies to buy. She was always flexible when it came to scheduling and, even though we live in different time zones, we were able to find times that worked for both of us. I highly recommend Kara if you are looking to learn modern brush calligraphy!

It's lovely to see you here. I am a Calligrapher and Teacher, so combining my two passions to teach you calligraphy is a joy! I believe calligraphy is a healing and mindful activity, and I adore investing in a craft that also has great mental health benefits.
I love to teach students that are new to the art, and get you introduced and confident to start writing your letters, so that you can make fun and useful projects.
