Ready for the gilding part?
This is what people say about my online classes:
“I recommend the course [German Script] because it was built up step by step and with much attention to detail. I could learn and practice this calligraphy style at my own pace. It was also possible to contact the lecturer at any time and clarify questions.
The bonus with the creation of the collage booklet was my personal highlight, the result was stunning!
Truely recommended and I am sure that upcoming online courses will also be great.” Petra
“At first, I was a bit sceptical if an online course would be right for me, but Dörthe proofed me wrong.
The videos are super understandable and open questions could be clarified in the course forum.
The live streams were funny and entertaining. Here Dörthe has taken up course content again and demonstrated live and answered all open questions.
Thank you for this wonderful course.” Eve

Welcome, I am Dörthe
About 16 years ago I picked up the calligraphy pen for the first time because I was fascinated by beautiful writing. However, then I had children and calligraphy rested for a while. But never forgot about it completely. When I started again 5 years ago, I made a lot of beginner mistakes. I was also frustrated by the nib’s scratching and ink blobs and not being able to succeed.
Today I have my own studio, take on commissions and give courses for calligraphy enthusiasts.
However, the road was not easy and convenient. It took me a lot of time and nerves to acquire all the knowledge and the right technique and I am still learning.
In this online course I will make this way easier for you
From the very first stroke, I give you many important tips & tricks that are important in order to learn how to emboss and gild.
At the end of the course, you will be able to create your own designs and create wonderful projects such as gift tags, greeting cards or artwork for your home and for your loved ones.
See you in class, I look forward to teaching you.
Creative greetings
Dörthe

Is the online course for me if…
I have no experience with calligraphy – I am an absolute beginner?
Yes! Even then, the course is the right one for you. You can make embossing stencils and gilded letters if you have no calligraphy experience. I’ll give you tips and tricks.
I have already worked with embossing folders and a Big Shot or similar machines?
Absolutely! In this course, you will learn how to create your own font or images/drawings and make yourself independent of stencil providers.
I don’t want to invest a lot of money in material?
You don’t need much to emboss. One embossing tool is enough, you might already have the rest in the house.
For the gilding part, you decide for yourself whether you want to use the cheaper or more expensive version. That’s why I show you both.
I don’t have much time in everyday life, but would like to get creative?
Absolutely. An online course is just the right format. You can work through all the lessons at your pace, even going back to a lesson when a little more time has passed in between practicing sessions. Therefore, you will always find a way to take a creative break next to famliy and work. In addition, the videos are mostly short so that you can always watch little parts of the class.
