How to Flourish: Adding "Oomph" to Your Calligraphy

Have you ever looked at a piece of beautifully flourished calligraphy and wondered, "How did they do that?!" Flourishing can be one of the most intimidating aspects of learning calligraphy and lettering - but once you learn how it's done, you'll be well one your way to creating beautifully flourished pieces of your own.

In this course, calligrapher and Skillshare Top Teacher Kim Shrack from Hoopla! Letters breaks down the flourishing process step-by-step. You will learn:

All students will also receive a downloadable workbook featuring drills sheets, exemplars and oodles of opportunities to practice all your new skills. All this, plus a super fun final project - pretty great, right? If you're ready to start flourishing confidently, I hope you will join me in this new course. See you soon!
