Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get free updates, even after my course schedule ends?
Yes! Once you enroll, you have access for as long as the course exists, so you'll get access to all future course updates, including new videos, worksheets and exercises.
How will I be inspired to actually do the exercises?
TWO AWESOME WAYS: 1) One of our expert teachers will be waiting to review your projects, give you personalized feedback, and cheer you on for the whole journey! and 2) By joining the amazing community of students all around the world learning alongside you! Our private Facebook community has students who are just beginning, and calligraphers who have started their own businesses. So you can get inspired and learn from your classmate 24/7!
Are calligraphy supplies included with the course?
No, it's up to you to decide exactly which tools you want to invest in. But, fear not! I provide a recommended beginner kit that you can purchase at John Neal Bookseller. OR, you can buy the tools you want from my detailed, clickable list of favorite supplies. Either way, you'll feel uniquely prepared, never lost.
How long will I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? Once you purchase the course, you'll have access for as long as the course exists. I really encourage you to try and complete the course on the official 8-week schedule, so you can gain momentum and engage with your fellow students. BUT, I also understand that life gets in the way sometimes. So, you can always come back to re-watch any of the videos, or go through the course all over again at your own pace!
Do you offer any refunds or guarantees?
Due to the digital nature of the course, I cannot offer any refunds once you have accessed the course materials. I truly believe in the value of this course, but please keep the refund policy in mind before purchasing.
What is the course format?
With Modern Calligraphy 101, you have the option of going at your own pace, or following a suggested 8-week guided schedule. As soon as you enroll, you'll get access to all of the lessons, so you can race through if you want. BUT, for those who are looking for more structure, I provide a checklist that gives you suggested practice for every single day for a full 8 weeks. Every week, you'll: 1) LEARN from a new set of video lessons, 2) PRACTICE using the provided worksheets, 3) SYNTHESIZE by completing a fun project, then 4) CRITIQUE your project using the feedback lessons.
What happens if I can't complete the course on schedule?
You'll get the best learning experience by watching the videos and completing each lesson on the suggested schedule. That way, you keep your momentum and watch yourself grow week after week. But I know that life doesn't always go as planned, so you're still totally welcome to complete the course at your own pace. You can upload your assignments to the course website whenever you like!

Here's what students are saying about the course:
“Modern Calligraphy 101 is a brilliant course! Shinah shares all her knowledge in an upbeat, positive and enthusiastic way, through videos and printable worksheets. I really can’t recommend this highly enough.”
“Shinah’s class was so thorough! There was so much good information - starting with the very basics to taking your calligraphy to the next level. The supportive network of other students (and of course Shinah) is also a plus! Great class!”
“I wasn’t expecting the difference in my writing to be so great after only 6 weeks. Shinah’s curriculum was thorough, easy to follow with and though I am my own worst critic, I can see my growth. It’s awesome.”
“Wow! I have improved so much since starting this course! I was always so intimidated by the nib and oblique holder and that calligraphy is for experts or people with beautiful writing. Thanks for this writing therapy! Really warms my heart to just calm down and take things slow.”
“I found this course to be incredibly user friendly and fun. I always looked forward to the next lesson with anticipation. Shinah’s personality shined through and made you feel as if you were in the classroom with her. Highly recommend this course!”
“[This course is] full of beautiful printouts (WAY better than the crappy book I bought on amazon), clear direction, and makes it so much easier to figure out the supplies than doing it on your own.”
“When I opened your course the first time I really fell in love with the structure of the course. I can tell that you tried your best to make the course as easy to use as possible - and it works. Indeed it´s really welcoming and approachable.”
“I had tried to teach myself Calligraphy last year and gave it up after a few months of trying but getting no results. Your class was just what I needed! I have continued to practice almost everyday since starting your course and my progress has been unbelievable. ”
