Creative Alphabets with Christine Ahmad

Morning: These alphabets are good for emphasizing one word in a quote or used as an initial or a name. It will be fun to see what your imagination can come up with!  Learn a fun, yet simple alphabet that lends itself to being coloured and embellished with patterns. We still start off simple and gradually jazz up the letter forms by adding weight, squiggles, dots and boxes.

Afternoon: Design your own alphabet, based on an upright oval. Mix up some lettering styles and add a little Tim Burton

Engrossers script is a combination of different 'Letterforms' which I call
ingredients, accurately measured to form the perfect 'Letter' ! It is
actually as simple as it sounds. But, to get the perfect 'Letter' you need
to continuously practice which helps build muscle memory and in
return it becomes easier to get the perfect 'Letterform'!
In this course, I will be teaching the hidden intricate details of
Engrossers script which I can guarantee you will not find in any
book. So join me in my Online class with The Lettering Arts Guild'
and learn this beautiful script in a manner unseen in the
calligraphy world! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity on
this platform to help me 'Pay it Forward'!

​

Part II will be offered in January 2026
