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.
Stop scrolling on your phone and pick up your pen! Let's Keep Beautiful Handwriting Alive!

Hey Sweet Friend!
The differences between Calligraphy and Hand Lettering can seem blurry. Especially since they can use the same tool! In this episode I define Calligraphy and Handlettering, break down 3 ways to identify them and give tips on helping you figure out which would be great for your child. I hope this makes it so easy!
