What Are Past Students Saying
“Your videos are very helpful and just the way you broke it down made so much more sense to me than other videos I’ve seen before.”
“I would definitely 100% recommend the 1:1 or even a group session. It was amazing and I learned so much each 1 hour session we did. It was nice to talk to someone in real time and get the help and she would watch how I was writing! I am so much more confident in my writing ability after doing the 1:1 session. Amanda is very, very helpful, patient and kind! My one month progress photo blew me away!
I was about to seriously throw in the towel this month, and this was my last attempt to try and get it. Amanda helped me through it and be more confident!”
— Aubri M.
“I truly enjoyed the session and it reignited the spark about why Calligraphy was so interesting to me in the first place.
Amanda is an amazing teacher and I am so glad to have a chance to enjoy one of her lessons!”
— Lela P.
“Amanda has the perfect balance of teaching! She takes the time to teach, but does it in a fast paced style that I was able to stay focused and learn so much! I took this class in perfect time for the holiday season. I will be practicing for all of my Christmas tags!”
— Kimberly C.
“Once Amanda taught me the 7 basic strokes of handlettering I soared. With her continual teaching in her Facebook community, I have learned even more…like playing with different tools. Lettering led me into watercoloring so I would have a place to use the lettering. Amanda loves to see her students soar.”
— Vicki R.
“Amanda is a great teacher! She made the workshop fun and easy to follow along! I was a total beginner and didn’t think I’d catch on right away but she started the workshop teaching us different strokes and it was really helpful!”
— Rachelle P.
More than a class, this is like a fun interactive session with a friend who is also willing to teach you calligraphy. So not only would you get to have a fun time with a great person, you also get to learn something from her! This class is worth the price! The tools that come with it are cute and simple and nothing scary but rather exciting! Thank you for this lovely experience Amanda! Here is to more!! 🥂

“This was an excellent introduction to modern calligraphy. Amanda was so warm, welcoming, and patient. She really took the time to design her workshop to explain modern calligraphy and showed many examples.”
— Jan L.
“I joined Amanda's FB group for beginners at the end of September and have just completed the October affirmation challenge. I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience and so happy with my progress. The skills worksheets, live skills practice sessions, video tutorials and gentle critiques from Amanda have really helped to improve my technique. I'm far from perfect though, so I'm excited to get more practice and further hone this skill with her new workbook. I wholeheartedly recommend the FB group and the workbook to anyone who's interested in learning modern calligraphy and creative handlettering.”
— Polly W.
“I have been so excited to begin my journey learning all about calligraphy and this workshop was a perfect 1st step in my learning process! Amanda does an amazing job showing & sharing!”
— Susan B.
“Amanda is such positive and patient teacher. She offers helpful tips and tricks to help one learn calligraphy and offers positive encouragement. Loved learning this craft with her!”
— Rachael W.
“I knew this was going to be a great workshop before I had even gone. After I signed up, Amanda texted right away to make sure I knew the address and if I had any questions beforehand. She also checked in the night before the class to confirm. Amanda is a great teacher! Very patient and supportive. She made sure we were going at the right speed for me and she was willing to show extra steps as needed. She was even willing to help after the workshop was over. Just needed to text her with questions. I highly recommend this beginners workshop!”
— Becky L.

Who am I?
Amanda Plotner, Modern Calligraphy Teacher
Hi there! My name is Amanda, your calligraphy sister (calligra-sister) and instructor. I started my calligraphy journey in 2017 and used that knowledge to add personal touches to my wedding in 2019. Calligraphy has opened up a whole world for me, and am excited to get you started to discover the worlds it could open up for you, too.
I’ve taught in-person workshops and coached beginners online, watching them go from shaky, unsure strokes to confident flourishes.
