Emily Hall

Anyone Can do Calligraphy

Awesome awesome awesome!

Vanessa was a lovely teacher.

Vanessa stepped through the process of learning calligraphy from, items needed, how to prepare and then the writing.

Very easy to follow and instant results!

Zoom class was really accessible and fun to see others from interstate.

Highly recommend

Thanks Vanessa!

Calligraphy Workshop: Breathe Your Words Out

This workshop is very well paced, structured, all the material such as the crystal with our name and ‘word’ that we received are personalised. It’s a very well planned and thought out workshop which is beyond my expectation. Not only I learnt how to do calligraphy but also had a chance to tap into my inner intuition during the workshop. It’s highly recommended and now my friends are asking when the next one is! Can’t wait to do another one with Vanessa from Bondi Letters!

Calligraphy Workshop: Breathe Your Words Out

What a fantastic workshop! It was so relaxing and Vanessa explained all the techniques involved well! I loved the surprise special gifts and little extras that she had put together for us.
Can’t wait to start practicing at home

Naomi Byrnes

Introduction to Modern Calligraphy

The hand outs, practice sheet and lesson structure was really clear to me. I appreciated hearing how Azalea has developed her style over time, and patiently practiced for many months before moving to joined writing. I found it peaceful to sit and repeat the core lines and repeat different letters to see how their strokes work.

Card Making Class

Shirley is a wonderful teacher, very friendly, patient and engaging.
Everyone enjoyed themselves making some beautiful cards, which they can now give as gifts.
Thanks Shirley :-)

Learn Coptic Bookbinding

We had a couple of technology issues but the class still ran smoothly. It was great fun, interactive and Frances made sure we didn’t get lost along the way! Frances also got in touch with a text message prior to the class to make sure we all had the zoom link and answer any questions before the class which was really nice.

Cassandra Williams

Learn Coptic Bookbinding

This was a fantastic class. Frances is a warm and friendly teacher who showed us every step very clearly and supported each member of the group individually so that we could work at our own pace without feeling like we were waiting or being left behind. Having our own choice of papers was a lovely way to personalise our books. I learned a lot and I am already working on my next book!

Learn Coptic Bookbinding

Thank you for the lovely relaxing session and offering this over zoom so I could join from comfort and safety of home, 2000 kilometres away! I had such a lovely afternoon hanging out with other creative people and feel inspired. I finished my book afterwards and am now doing another one. I enjoyed learning by making ‘mistakes‘! I quite like the effect of one of my ‘errors’ so I’m leaving it that way for now and will try again on the next one. :-) I found Frances’ style so warm and flexible, helped me persist and enjoy the process. I found that what Frances offered was so generous for the price, with the materials we received, the time and the PDF of instructions and recommended links for more learning/ inspiration.

Make Paper Mache Collage Bowls

This was a wonderful class that taught us how to make delightful papier Mache bowls. Pamela was absolutely great. I unexpectedly had two grandchildren with me. Pamela graciously accommodated them.
Pamela was very generous with the beautiful materials she supplied us with. They took my breath away.
Pamela was very clear and took great pains to work with us at a pace we were comfortable with. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the course.

As an adult educator myself, I give Pamela 10/10.

Card Making Class

I really enjoyed the class - I was the only person online I am a retired 'elderly' academic and have never been a crafty person, so I was pleased to be able to do something useful with my hands. Shirley was a good instructor. Many thanks.

Modern Calligraphy Deconstructed

I really loved this class! Icy was super friendly and supportive. She checked on our progress regularly and made sure we felt welcome and well supported. She provided exceptional equipment and the class was well structured, allowing us direction to continue our learning individually after the lesson. I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson! Thank you!

Anyone Can do Calligraphy

This was a great class. Vanessa broke down all the brush stokes and each individual letter to make it feel like anyone can calligraphy (the class name is very suitable). The craft kit was well put together and fun to receive in the mail. Vanessa is a great teacher and very approachable.

Brush Lettering with Watercolours

Vanessa is a great teacher. The workshop was fun, and she was very friendly and open, giving us lots of tips. She taught us starting from the basics. It's great for people who get overwhelmed by all the YouTube videos and materal available online (like me). The online workshop went very smoothly with no hiccups. The box of material arrived very fast and it was well packed and very cute I highly recommend this workshop. Look at this picture of my before and after!

Brush Lettering with Watercolours

A passionate and patient teacher walking us through brush lettering.

Loved how interactive this class was, and walking away with new ways of creating beautiful letters.

Learn How to Bullet Journal for Self Care

I really appreciated the small group, and the way Icy offered us inspiration from her own journals and Pinterest pages, and the message of gentle flexibility, experimentation and being free to explore our own individual preferences in bullet journalling. I felt inspired to start straight away, and our cat Fergus seems to be enjoying the pens and paper to play along.

Learn Coptic Bookbinding

I had always wanted to learn book binding and so when I saw this class I knew I had to give it ago and this class did not disappoint. It was fun to see a book slowly coming together from making the covers to binding the pages together. I really enjoyed this class and while I wasn't able to finish my book in the class I know I have got the skills to keep trying it alone. I am also feeling confident to try it by myself which is nice. Frances is such a nice teacher, so approachable and went above and beyond to provide us with lots of resources which we can refer back to, you can tell she is really passionate about this craft. Additionally she was so attentive and even when my craft kit was having problems with delivery she was able to get it sorted. Definitely give this class a go if you have ever had any interest in book binding its worth it.
