Growing up, I have always been into arts and crafts. But when I got married in 2017, I enjoyed DIY-ing our wedding signages, envelope addressing, place cards and decorations, it awakened a dormant creative passion inside of my soul.

The same year, I started bullet journaling which also gave me the opportunity to explore other aspects of creativity like botanical illustrations.

Combining bullet journaling, calligraphy and floral illustrations have helped me grow as a creative and I am fortunate enough to share my passions through reaching workshops and doing commission work.

Thoroughly enjoyed this class - Icy was great at explaining and going through key points. Set up for zoom was great - easily can see what she is doing. Walked away with confidence I can actually do this - even with no skill in Brush pen or calligraphy. Highly recommend this class. Great beginners class.

This class was very interesting & fun & Icy is a good teacher with lots of interesting info, the equipment is excellent but it is rather expensive if your just wanting to try it for the first time to just give it a go. I would suggest using any cheap brush pen & buy the 'class only'. If your a little more experienced and/or really into learning writing styles then this is totally the class for you.

Really informative. Learning the different elements was great. Can’t wait to practice today’s class

Emma Launder • Nov 2021

The class was exactly what I was looking for - an introduction to calligraphy that allowed me to get the feel for using both a brush pen and a pointed pen. Icy explained and demonstrated the different types of strokes and we would follow and practise as well. She mentioned common FAQ's, beginner mistakes and tips/tricks along the way which was really helpful. By the end of the class I felt like I had learnt enough to be able to practise independently.

Bee Hauzaree • Nov 2021

Icy is a friendly, very approachable and talented teacher, as well as a calligraphist! Her passion and verbal skills to conduct a class made it a very enjoyable experience. Would recommend Icy and her course, to anyone wanting to learn or gain an understanding into the wonderful art form and expressionism of calligraphy…

Icy's class was phenomenal! I joined with my flatmate and we spent a lovely Saturday morning learning how to master the calligraphy basics. We got so addicted we spent another couple of hours doing some more after the class finished and pulled out our calligraphy tools the next day too. Would highly recommend this class to anyone! Icy is fantastic.

I really enjoyed the brush pen and pointed pen class. It was good to try both pens techniques in the same class, quite different, but fun. Great and clear teaching from Icy. Thank you.

Susan Tuyau • Oct 2021

Icy made all the steps very easy to follow. Gave us so many tips and hints on how we can improve with practice. The time passed very quickly and before we know it time was up Highly recommended.

Icy is a great teacher, and so passionate about calligraphy! The workshop was a gift - I had no idea I would enjoy it so much. I look forward to practising and using my new skills. A very relaxing hobby.

Icy has a great style to her teaching that makes concepts easier to grasp. The pace was good and the main points were all covered in depth, as well as tailored extras that the students brought up. Icy is friendly and open in her discussions and always ready to answer questions. Really enjoyed the course, learnt some great things and can't wait to start using this new skill!

I really loved this class with Icy! She breaks down the steps really clearly and is such a lovely teacher. I also love how she combined pointed and brush pen so we could try both. Would recommend to anyone who’s interested in calligraphy but not sure where to start

Icy is an excellent presenter and very talented. She gave plenty of time for practice and was great at explaining all parts and processes

I loved Icy’s way of breaking down all of the strokes and how they transform into each letter. She took her time for everyone to grasp everything and I loved being able to compare brush pens to ink nibbed pens as I’d only used the latter before!

I took this class on a Saturday during Sydney's lockdown. It was exciting to receive the kit a few days prior to the class and great to be able to learn something new from the safety & comfort of home. Icy is very sweet - slowly explaining things to us and also explaining techniques and styles that she prefers and why. The camera set up from Icy is also good - right over her hands so you can see exactly what she is doing. I found the brush pen more difficult to use than the pointed pen so would love to learn more about brush lettering.

The class was great! It was relaxed and informative and good value for money. Icy was very friendly and explained everything perfectly.

Ida Lawrance • Aug 2021

I learnt so much in such a short space of time. Icy wanted us to have all of the basics so we could continue on our own. Thank you Icy

The teacher was really nice and went through the workbook with us, however I felt that it was a little bit rushed and I felt that I wasn't able to ask for a lot of feedback. It was interesting to try out the pointed pen although a bit tricky to make it pretty.

Really enjoyed the lesson. Icy was patient and showed the basics. Need to do lots of practice now but a good start. Thank you.

Amy Kew • Feb 2021

Icy was such a fantastic teacher. Her explanation was wonderful, and she was so resourceful on where to pick up our own items when we need to re-buy them! I cant wait to do more classes with her, her teaching style was just fantastic. I felt so luxurious with the set she sent me, which made me even more excited to learn!Can’t rave about it enough! :) thank you Icy!

Florentia Anindita • Feb 2021

This class is great for a beginner, and the best part is we learn how to do it with a pointed pen and brush pen at once.
Icy is a great teacher, very patient, and the class is very easy to follow even though we do it in zoom class.

Definitely we need more self-practice because this short class only covers the basic technique. But the practice module surely will help a lot.

Carolyn Boer • Feb 2021

So much fun and I learnt new stuff too. I really liked that I could ask questions. Lots to practice now!

Jocielle Arevalo • Feb 2021

Icy's Brush Pen and Pointed Pen Modern Calligraphy class was perfect for beginners! She went through the information at a steady pace and everything she shared tied in together once we started practicing. I personally liked how she shared different variations of different letters, including ones she didn't normally gravitate to in her own work.

Oona Phillips • Feb 2021

Icy took time to assist attendee with zoom issues, and we covered all techniques in time allocated.

Lydia Saputra • Jan 2021

Awesome class for calligraphy beginners. We learned the fundamentals principles in calligraphy using both brush pen and pointed pen. We also got to experiment with different lettering styles. The class also comes with a workbook so we can continue to practice! Thanks Icy

Great class, covered all the basics and sets you up to go on independently. Highly recommend.

Belinda Abdelmalak • Aug 2020

I thought Icy’s class was excellent. I had already done a bit of calligraphy before so thought it may be too basic for what I wanted but learnt so much, plenty of opportunity to ask questions and very informative. Thanks so much. Can’t wait to get practising!
