From calligraphy practice → finished compositions


If you’ve ever practiced your calligraphy and thought:

My letters look good, but how do I turn this into something "finished"?

You’re not alone!

Creating a composition is more challenging than simply writing letters and words.

With letters, you have a clear structure to follow.

But with layouts, you have endless possibilities.

To make it feel less overwhelming, we created a simple, repeatable process you can use with any quote.

If your lettering looks good on practice sheets, but you’re not sure how to turn it into a final composition, this will help you!

Happy lettering,
-Jordan and Jillian

P.S. If you want help doing this step-by-step, we’re running a 7-day composition challenge inside Calligraphy Together. Each day, you’ll get one small, simple task and a fun group of calligra-friends to share it with.

It starts on May 1 and we’d love to have you Reader 💜
