    I’ve always wanted to try hand lettering and this was a great starting place. We learned the difference between hand lettering and other word art such as calligraphy, and got to try the skills we learned with supervision and assistance. There were beginners and skilled artists alike there; I would definitely take a class from Adam again and am so glad I finally got to do this!

    I highly enjoyed this class! Very informative, laid back and fun! Adam is full of energy, clearly loves what he does as a lettering artist and wants to share all of his knowledge with his students. Not only do you get to take supplies home with you but you can download his presentation after the class to go back through as a reference which I think is awesome. Highly recommend to anyone who is just starting off lettering or has been doing it for a while and wants to learn more techniques and tips!

    This was an excellent class, and I really enjoyed it. Adam has great energy, and really wants to share the process of hand lettering. Expect to get a solid understand of process and development, and the mental 'tools' you need to wrap your head around this art.

    Adam really enjoys the art of hand lettering, and it shows in his teaching. I came into the class knowing nothing, and left with the basic skills and confidence to continue. He teaches you not only the "how" but the "why" so you understand the rules. After a short-but-important theory presentation, there are step by step exercises that build upon each other to make the process of learning it completely painless . Be prepared to erase, and erase some more; and, to that end, I would suggest you bring a nice polymer eraser to class with you. Adam supplies everything else you need.

    I had a wonderful time learning at "The Basics of Hand Lettering." It is a laid back class with a really cool teacher. Adam is super responsive to any questions, and also shows a lot of really inspirational work. He is honest about how much practice needs to go into getting good at hand lettering, and even shares his own personal story and his work as he was starting out hand lettering. Very helpful course, definitely would recommend!

    The intro to hand lettering was both fun and the perfect speed for someone who wants to dip their toe in the water. I can see it also being useful for someone who has the basics and would like to attend to build up on their skills.

    A fun and informative class! Adam is engaging and knowledgeable, first taking the class through a quick and dirty overview of type and lettering before guiding everyone through the process of creating your own lettering piece. Great both for creatives expanding their knowledge AND for complete novices looking for something new to explore. Highly recommended!

    Adam's class was an approachable introduction to hand lettering. I've been wanting to find a hobby that is a little bit easier to transport while traveling and his class really seemed like a great way to get involved. The instruction was very hands-on and I received a lot of great feedback from him.

    As a designer I am always trying to learn and get better, this goes especially for hand lettering. I have been searching for a class on this for quite some time and was excited that I found this one, especially as it was taught by someone I am familiar with and enjoy following on Instagram. The class was super relaxed and fun. It was not a class where you should expect to be an expert once you leave, but one that teaches you the basics and then you have to enhance your skills through practice. Will be on the lookout for more classes from Adam.

    I have been falling more and more in love with lettering and calligraphy, and have been following Adam on instagram for a while and always loved his work. When I saw that he was offering a class, I signed up immediately. His class was fun and informative - he showed us new ways to think outside of the box when it comes to writing. Now when I see a word I think about how each letter could go together in a combination of ways! His process helped me to refine my lettering and become more consistent, and inspired me to do more and practice! Adam was very kind and funny and made for an easy learning environment. I have been practicing non-stop since, and would take this class again in a heart beat!

    This was my first live workshop so I had no idea what to expect going in. The teachers and other participants were warm and welcoming. The venue had a great atmosphere. I thought Adam did a great job pacing the information. It was obvious he took a lot of time preparing the content and was very knowledgable. I appreciated how open he was to answering questions and sharing his process. This class would be perfect for someone interested in hand lettering but doesn't know where to begin. The tool kit he provided to take home was a fun bonus; very practical. I only wish the class was longer, because it was very enjoyable. Definitely worth the money. I'd love to take another class in the future!
