I’m Christy Toney, a calligrapher and hand lettering artist with 15 years experience. I create problem solving courses and digital resources that help lettering enthusiasts and small business owners better their lettering.
WHY LEARN FROM ME?
Trying to master lettering can feel like an endless journey. There are so many things to remember, tools you are told to secure, and oh yes, that elusive monster called “practice, practice, and more practice!”
How can an otherwise busy person not only connect with, but excel in this discipline?
Even as a calligrapher I found this question tough to answer, but through custom sign making I wound up dedicating a good part of my career to the discipline.
That said, I’d LOVE to be the person to introduce you to the satisfying world of crafting letters. The best practices I impart will allow you to create work that is in the same arena as the work you currently admire.
