Lettering School – is an educational project that aims to get people back to the lost art of handwriting and hand drawing.  It may seem like handwriting is over – it’s keyboarding skills all the way – but we at Lettering School say: not so fast! Of course, everybody needs strong keyboarding and tech skills, but handwriting has many benefits, creating brain connections, developing motor skills, and improving cognitive development.  It is an anti-stress activity that brings new sensations to our day-to-day lives. At Lettering School we use ink and brush, pastel and chalk on a blackboard, organizing workshops, performances, and online courses, and working with groups or individuals of any age.

We also provide design service focused on hand lettering or chalkboard lettering for restaurants (menu board, wall/window decoration, etc.).
