Have enjoyed working my way through this workbook & activity book with plenty of instructions for techniques, tools of the trade for this hobby (and how much I love that she tells you how to do all this with Crayola markers?!? Yay!), plenty of practice pages, and then TONS of additional project suggestions from ornaments, gift tags, labels, opportunities to practice (even if it's just a grocery list), places in your home where you can interject your own hand lettering into your home. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn even more about hand-lettering or at-home calligraphy!

I saw Maghon when she taught a hand lettering class in Dallas. She is so great! Create, inspiring, and a ton of fun, and that comes through even in her book. Plus, she teaches you how to hand letter, and makes it easy and accessible for all

This was such a fun, inspirational book! You won’t regret getting it! My daughter enjoyed doing it with me, too. She’s eleven.

I loved the aesthetic of this book but it ended up being as much about God and her beliefs than the practicalities of learning the craft.
