I had never experimented with calligraphy before, but I wanted to try this course and I really liked it! In 4 classes, I went from zero to a confident beginner with a solid base of theory and practice.

I've been exploring calligraphy for about a year, and I heard a lot of good reviews from friends about this course, so I decided to give it a try. And indeed, I have learned many useful things that I didn't know before. Thanks!
