Welcome To Keeping Beautiful Handwriting Alive by Joanna Kettle @ Wild Plains Calligraphy
Joyful and beautiful handwriting taught in a way that makes sense for homeschooling families.
Handwriting skills are being lost in this generation. It is a skill, an art, and a form of human expression worth preserving but schools are no longer teaching it. Kids are bored to tears while trying to learn it. They cry because they also feel the pressure of not being able to make letters perfectly. We want better for our children so they can not only read grandma's handwriting but write just as beautifully!
-
But not with pressure.
-
Not with perfectionism.
-
And not with joyless worksheets.
With making handwriting FUN and sharing clear steps to write beautifully
Because the benefits of handwriting are vast.

Situations in your life have you down? Are you stuck in negative thought patterns? Are you looking on scripture to meditate on while doing Calligraphy?

I also reflect on why these 3 verses are especially revelant for what's going on in our world today.
