"I have never been an artistic person and I have been able to bring light to that side of me through taking this class! Never in a million years would I have thought I would be able to write calligraphy but Ana does an amazing job at teaching you the correct techniques and I am excited to continue learning in order to use calligraphy throughout my daily life!"

What past members say
The lettering club was something that I signed up for on a whim. I decided to try something new and I am beyond happy that I did! I have picked up a new little hobby that makes me feel good about myself and I feel really grounded when I create. Added bonus is that I have met some really great people that I look forward to seeing once a month.
Kristi
Past Club Member
Lovely Little Light lettering clubs have fulfilled a creative outlet and created a fun sense of community - and support of local businesses! She does a great job of walking all members through the steps and helping build confidence with skills. She shares tips and tricks and has given us a chance to make some great things!
Carolyn
Past Club Member
This club was a great jumpstart to spark my interest in calligraphy. I have always wanted to learn but lacked the motivation on my own. This was presented in a friendly manner so it didn't seem overwhelming. Ana was the best instructor. She was able to answer questions and provide support. Her teaching technique made sense and was supportive.
Courtney
Past Club Member
and more . . .
What started out as a scheduled mom's night out of the house became an anticipated day for the fun and friendships that developed throughout the process. The activities were related to the practice and the things we made or did were useful, not just stuff. I truly enjoyed my time in the club.
Kristin
Past Club Member
Ana is the best! She has such a unique talent and she is the best teacher! I loved being able to do projects and socialize with people once a month. 10/10 would recommend joining the lettering club to get out of your comfort zone and try something new!
Victoria
Past Club Member
I personally signed up for this club by myself and was a little nervous about jumping in on my own, but everyone was very welcoming to new members. I love being creative and making projects in my personal life, but sometimes it's hard to feel inspired and this was a great way for me to meet people while doing something creative. I also loved the fact that the meetings were at various businesses so that we could support them as well.

This is not for you if...
you only want to learn the very basics of calligraphy and hand-lettering but nothing more than that
you believe that you already have community and don't want to meet new people
you consider yourself an expert in brush lettering already and believe you can't learn any more
This is for you if...
you are a college-student, single gal, wife, mom or grandma desiring to slow down more
you are willing to invest time and effort into learning a new skill with others
you desire to grow in creativity even if you do not consider yourself as "creative"

Frequently Asked Questions
- When are monthly meetings?
Monthly meetings are held on a set night of the month depending on the specific club. Click HERE to view meeting dates.
2. Where are meetings held?
Meetings are held at local establishments. Click HERE to view meeting locations.
3. How long to meetings last?
Monthly club meetings will be held at either 5:30pm or 6:00pm. Monthly meetings will range from 90 min to 2 hours and will be held at local small businesses.
4. What if I can not attend a meeting?
If you can not make it to a class, you will still have access to all class materials and learning on our private Facebook group. This includes recordings or videos about the lesson and printables. All project materials will be available for you to pick up and do on your own time.
5. Is it worth $54/month?
No, it is not. It is actually worth over $100/month if you break it down individually.....But I did NOT want to make this something that was too expensive for you to invest in because I believe in the power of community and what a creative evening with other women can do for you.
6. What kinds of lettering do we learn?
This club is a lettering club that will cover a wide variety of hand-lettering types, styles, principles, and techniques. Specifically you will learn brush lettering with a Tombow Dual Brush Pen and Fudenosuke Pen and faux lettering with a variety of pens. We will not be doing traditional nib and ink calligraphy in this club.
More Questions Answered
7. What if I am not creative?
Each person is made in the image of God, our Creator, so by human nature, we are all creators; called to create. No matter what is going on in your life, having a fun creative outlet is ALWAYS a good idea! Letting go of your ego and simply creating can be so powerful. Plus, I know I'm biased but I really believe that lettering is such an incredible hobby to help us find peace and intentional rest.
10. Can I join with a friend?
Of course! Simply have them visit my website to register for the club. Email me if you join with a group of 5+ to receive a special group discount. (Note: Discounts can not be combined)
8. Is there a limit on registrations?
This group is for ANY women ages 18+. I have had women ages 20 to 70 in the club in the past. (Sorry kids under 18, you can always join me for one of my stand-alone workshops!)
9. Can I join if I have done lettering before?
Of course! If you have tried on your own or if you are an avid letterer, all you need is a desire and willingness to keeping learning! There is always room for practice and joining with community.
11. What is the time commitment?
The only other "time commitment" outside of the meetings is simply as much time you individually want to put forth. I’ll provide hand-lettering practice sheets but there is not a commitment to “having” to do more outside of joining us in person once a month unless you want to practice on your own!
12. How do I know if this is for me?
It is for you if you ... want to connect with other local-area women once a month in an evening out, want to learn how to apply your knowledge of calligraphy, enjoy learning new things, want to make a meaningful creative project each month, like supporting local businesses, and want to learn how to rest well. Hand-lettering and crafting are great ways to relax, have some mindfulness, and fill up your creative cup.

- Carolyn says, “Do it! Don't hesitate! Take the time for you!”
- Kristi says, “You won't regret it! You're lettering will improve and you will enjoy the process.”
- Crystal says, “Do it! Try something new! Do it for yourself!”
