The Ultimate Calligraphy Course

"Glad that I signed up for these lessons! Tried picking up lettering from various online sites but the outcome was far from acceptable. The online guides, classes, worksheets and videos I tried didn't go into the detail that Leah does and the tips and tricks that Leah generously shares. 

Her lessons are clear and easy to follow and Leah herself is a great, patient and approachable teacher who takes time effort to give personalised constructive critique. Well worth the course fee! Highly recommended!"

"I hesitated to spend the money at first but it’s clearly the most solid calligraphy course I’ve taken… and by a Singaporean! Yay!!! I printed the notes and… it’s almost an inch thick!!! And I printed most of them double sided some more. The resource page at the start already blew me away!

I’m definitely gonna recommend it to my audience!"

– Emily Seck, Calligrapher in Singapore

"I learned so much about calligraphy and letterforms during the course. I can't believe how much my writing style changed over just a few weeks! Throughout the course, I took photos to track my progress and I loved seeing the transformation.

 I loved how specific the lessons are and how the course covers different ways to take calligraphy further after the course. The lessons about digitization and engraving are really inspiring. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn calligraphy because you can work through it with a brush pen or pointed pen. You'll also understand the theory behind what you're doing so you'll never feel lost.”

– Gabriella Evans

"Highly recommend to attend the course if you love a very detailed version of calligraphy course, which you can pick & choose what you need. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 

As a beginner with no calligraphy experience, Leah has been very patient, attentive and engaging for the course. She also caters her feedback to each student based on their progress.”

– Chern Fern Goh

"I have dabbled in calligraphy and hand lettering on and off but my skill only truly improved by leaps and bounds after joining this course. Leah’s teaching is systematic, starting from foundational drills before taking you through the fascinating (if not occasionally chaotic [LOL]) world of flourishes and ligatures, all the while training your visual eye on what looks pleasant, what doesn’t, and why. 

This is indeed the “Ultimate” calligraphy course. Definitely one of my best investments this year. If you wish to take your calligraphy craft to the next levels (note the plural), look no further."

– Caroline Lu

"Leah is undoubtedly knowledgeable and skillful in calligraphy, yet she is modest and unassuming. 

Leah’s classes were well planned and easy to follow. And she is always generous and genuine in giving feedback to her students’ work. As a beginner in calligraphy, I learned so much from Leah, and I’m really glad that I had signed up for the calligraphy course! Highly recommended to anyone who is interested in calligraphy 🤩”

– Tay Yee Juin

"Leah has been instrumental in my learning of calligraphy. 

Taking her course was intensive and fulfilling. The classes are packed with gems of info, but what differs Leah from other teachers is not only her soft approach but her showing the common mistakes and how to avoid them.

Her experience in calligraphy translates in her delivery and there is no question she can’t answer without a probable solution. Her classes also touch on the aspect of digitising your work, a critical part of preserving your work and resources.

The class advances every week and pushes you to take on more within a short period but Leah is always there to guide, support and even cheer you on.

You’re awesome, Leah!”

– Nadiah Salam

"Here’s my thumbs up for your classes 👍👍👍

I wanted to improve my handwriting and boy was I deluded into thinking that learning calligraphy would achieve that! However, the results exceed my expectations. I began to pay attention to signages, brochures and advertisements. I was inspired to practice and practice and revive my love for handwritten cards, notes and journal. I also find the efforts meditative.

The lessons by Leah were extremely instructive and fun. Leah has an enormous passion for calligraphy. She is generous with her guidance and techniques. While it looks effortless, to me calligraphy is an art form that requires skill, effort, time and an eye for details - there must be integrity, harmony, symmetry, rhythm and balance of the negative/ positive spaces.

Leah is patient, cheerfully encouraging and remains accessible to provide feedback any piece of work. I do highly recommend her classes to all.”

– Cathryn Chang

"The course title – “The Ultimate Calligraphy Course” – speaks for itself. 

It is a super comprehensive course that covers everything from the basics of writing each letter to flourishing a word to digitisation of a project. Leah gives really detailed explanations and is also really patient in her coaching, making sure that understanding and doing go hand-in-hand with each other. 

Overall, it was a fulfilling course with an experienced and personable instructor (i.e. Leah,) which despite my terrible lack in the artistic department, made me feel like maybe, just maybe, I could do it too.”

– Kellie Lim

"From learning lowercase to uppercase to flourishing and ligatures, the course was SO GOOD.

I highly recommend it. Leah will give feedback on the pieces you’ve done and you feel personally coached. I could see improvements very quickly. Super proud of myself and how far I’ve come!”

– Joyce Lim

"The boring and nitty-gritty rules and stuff that I loathed and avoided was made plain and simple. 

I’m so glad I made the decision to sign up for this class. I’ve been reading online and trying to figure out calligraphy on my own, the result? Calligraphy that looks ok (by amateur standards) but not quite there. 

And for the longest time, I couldn’t improve and I didn’t know what I was doing wrong. This course really went into the basics of traditional calligraphy which I think was really crucial. The boring and nitty-gritty rules and stuff that I loathed and avoided was made plain and simple. And, it really helped me to improve my skill. Learning the basics also allows me to identify my mistakes when I practice drills. 

Leah was there to watch and point out the mistakes that I made which I think adds to my dramatic improvement! I can’t believe how much better I got after just 1 workshop with her. She takes the effort to know what ways we would like to apply the skill we learnt and spent a bit more time on digitalising which was what I was interested in. 

Leah is a very sincere and encouraging teacher, I highly recommend signing up for her class if you haven’t (if you can’t already tell by the 5 stars). I am patiently waiting for more courses by her!”

– Charity Wong

"To excel at a subject, it’s important to have first understood it well.

I really love Leah’s way of teaching where she will always provide a comprehensive overview before zooming into the details. The classroom outline is systematic and organized. And Leah makes the technicalities and concepts easy to understand. Definitely, she’s the go-to person for learning brush lettering and the like!”

– Kianne Lim

"Leah's classes are very informative, taking us through not only the processes but also the history and evolution of lettering.

Best of all, Leah takes the time to continue coaching even after the class is over - definitely a fantastic instructor and one who really cares about how each of her student's progress!”

– Karen Liew

"Leah's passion for what she does rubs off on you that you can't wait to go back and practise. 

Leah's explanation was clear and easy to understand. She's very patient too. She's also an easy-going person which made learning a pleasure.”

– Chua Hui Ying, Award-winning Children's Book Author in Singapore

"The best part & most enjoyable part of this course for me was the detailed explanation of how to add flourishes to enhance the piece. The different examples for the flourishes that we could add were definitely a thumbs up.

Before the course, my take on calligraphy was something that looks easy but difficult to perfect the strokes when I tried it on my own. After attending this course, with the detailed breakdown of the strokes, it was more understandable and easier to combine and do a simple piece. 

 Would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested to embark on the calligraphy journey. Of course, practicing also makes up a big part even after going through the course but signing up definitely helped a lot in my journey. Most of the workshop sessions only cover minuscules but this entire course covers everything we need to know about calligraphy.”

– Amber Lim

"Love the explanations!!

As a person that knows a little calligraphy, Leah's explanations WOW me. I didn't know there was so much going in one letter!! The things Leah is teaching in this course are definitely going to improve my calligraphy skills!”

– Eileen Tay

"Informative Basics!

This was informative, I enjoyed learning about the different brushes: water-based / archival inks, etc.  As well as the way I should look to hold my marker/pen and the paper position and seating position I should be aware of, which is something I have wondered about. ”

– Abigail Urbano

"Her mastery of skills & knowledge in calligraphy is outstanding! Her spirit of sharing is generous & resourceful!

It’d been great learning with Leah! I’m a happy learner, thank you! ”

– Sylvia Chan

"I took The Ultimate Calligraphy Course and the whole course was amazing. I have no background in calligraphy but Leah was very patient. She welcomes all questions, big and small, with passion and patience. She is very knowledgeable and is willing to share everything she knows. She is also very encouraging. She treats each of our practice works with care and respect (though I know I have been writing craps sometimes), and go through great extent to mark and point out our mistakes and teach us how to improve. 

I am glad to find her as my teacher and I strongly recommend anyone who has an interest in calligraphy to take up her class! You will not regret it. 

It was so fun that 6 weeks seem to pass very quickly. Thank you, Leah! ♥️”

– Delia Cheung

"Having dabbled in online courses on Skillshare and Domestika, I can firmly vouch that this experience was unparalleled and unmatched.

Leah is a passionate and knowledgeable calligrapher, teacher and now I consider her to be a mentor! It is indeed the “ultimate” calligraphy course and I highly recommend the “in-person” experience if you’re in SG - she reviews every practice and provides detailed feedback as well things to do to improve challenges you may face (and they make a lot of difference). The deep dive is on copperplate calligraphy with brush pen but can be easily translated to dip pen, and she also touches on modern calligraphy to open up the world of  possibilities/creativity/style. 

Also she’s available even after the course to answer questions and mentor her students’ journey onwards. I’m very grateful for her dedication and this course was above and beyond any expectations from my PoV.

I most highly recommend Leah’s course. 🙌🏽🙌🏽”
