    Instructor Bio:

    Hi, my name is Libbi. I think of myself as a creative experimenter and a lover of letters. Although, it has not always been sunshine and rainbows! You see I am a reformed frustrated creative. For a long time, I struggled to express myself creatively. This creative block caused frustration and self-doubt. I struggled to be proud of the artwork that I produced. Then I discovered a whole new method of to love the work that I create and this has opened up opportunities to experiment with many different lettering styles that express my many creative voices. Now I have the ability to use many different lettering styles that invites so much fun into my practice. If you want to know how to create authentic lettering that you absolutely love then join me on this creative journey and express your inner lover of lettering.

“Libbi’s course is not just one that helps you with creativity, but one that also has a focus on gratitude and mindfulness. This was perfect for me as I was really wanting to get into some hand lettering, but didn’t want to be overwhelmed with too much. Libbi breaks everything down into bite-size chunks and it was easy to follow along. I love her ideas for a gratitude jar and I will be implementing her ideas with my kids too!”

“Libbi is so creative and she is really passionate about letters. I loved this course because she asks you to think about things you are grateful for and then to letter those beautifully. I loved the idea of expressing beautiful words with beautiful letters. Her worksheets are amazing and really show you how to create lovely letters, but in the end, it’s all about expressing yourself creatively. Loved this course.”
