Get Started In Brush Lettering
Brush lettering is the perfect way to start personalising – whether you're crafting homemade décor, unique papercrafts or thoughtful gifts!
Create a calligraphic style of lettering, but with a brush pen. By applying more pressure on downstrokes and less pressure on upstrokes, you can produce flowing letters to customise every project.
If you aren't sure where to start, why not book yourself onto one of our Brush Lettering workshops?

Q - What is the difference between calligraphy, brush lettering and hand lettering?
Calligraphy is the art of using pressure to write words, so in this sense brush lettering is a type of calligraphy. Hand lettering is the art of drawing type to look as if it has been written, often using a pen with a stiff nip to first draw an outline and then fill in the shapes – sometimes this is called ‘faux calligraphy’.
Q - What tools are recommended for a complete beginner?
The Kelly Creates Brush Lettering Bundle is the ideal starting point for anyone interested in getting started in brush lettering. Here you will be able to use different sized brush pens within the lettering workbook in order to learn all basic movements and train your muscle memory for each stroke.
Q - What is the best way to hold a brush pen?
It is recommended that a brush pen is held at a 45 degree angle to the paper.
Q - What is the best paper to use for brush lettering?
It is best to use smooth paper that does not bleed; for example, the Seawhite Marker Paper Pad.
