Lessons in Lettering Frequently Asked Questions

Season 3 has already begun, but it’s not too late to join us! Click on the “Join LiL Discord Server” to join our community or purchase a workbook to work through them!

The course will be based off a series of workbooks that run through the basic lettering styles of monoline, block letter, serif letter, and script along with styling letters and creating compositions. You'll learn some tips and tricks in creating these styles and also have the opportunity to practice all the letters of the alphabet in each of these styles.
On top of the workbooks, there will be daily videos demonstrating the letters and style we will be working through that day. In addition, there will be a bi-weekly 1-hour live session each Sunday where Helen and I will answer any questions you may have and create a lettering piece using the style we're learning that week.

It's okay if you don't have Discord. We will be posting our videos unlisted on Youtube and send you an e-mail with the link. In addition, we will record our live sessions and post it unlisted as Youtube as well.
If you would like to share your work with your fellow classmates and us and you're on any of the other social media platforms, tag Helen (@artistnamedhelen on IG) or Lisa (@nolalettering on IG) and use the hashtag #lessonsinlettering.
The only downside to not being part of the Discord server is you won't be able to take advantage of the community to keep you accountable in your practice and obtain feedback/critiques of your practice.m description.

Definitely. Some of the workbooks may seem too simple for you if you've been lettering for a bit, but we're big believers in muscle memory and repeated practice. This helps create more even letters and clean compositions.
We will also be covering a series of styles, so if you're proficient in one style but not others, the course can still be helpful to you. You do not have to purchase all the workbooks either. We will be selling them individually, so if you don't feel the need to practice a certain style, you don't have to!
-
The first workbook, Monoline, is free. The subsequent workbooks will be sold at a discounted price if you decide to join us for the full course.
During the course, each workbook will be USD $15 and a bundle price of $65. Outside of the course, the prices will be $20 per workbook and $80 for the bundle.
