Free Online Calligraphy Lecture (Europe + The Americas)

After hosting my first free online lecture in March 2026, I received many messages from people in Europe + The Americas who couldn’t attend live due to the time difference. So I’m happy to share that I’ll be hosting a second free session on April 18th at a more international-friendly time.

WHEN
Saturday, April 18th
Spain: 17:30h
East Coast US: 11.30am
West Coast US: 8.30am

TOPICS I’LL COVER

 → The benefits of learning calligraphy for type & graphic designers
→ The role of discipline and long-term consistency
→ How to train your eye (not just your hand)
→ What structured progression in calligraphy really looks like
→ New demo: Calligraphy mechanics (part 2)
 
Many people enjoy calligraphy, but the real transformation happens when you practice consistently with guidance and feedback — and I’ll talk about what that process looks like.
 
At the end of the lecture I’ll also share details about my upcoming 4-month calligraphy course, which begins on May 2nd.

Hey! I'm Maria Montes, a Catalan-Australian multilingual, multicultural designer, calligraphy-and-type educator. My creative practice is set by the principles of never stop learning, sharing knowledge and create emotion through my work.

I have been teaching calligraphy independently since 2014. My favourite way of learning is by teaching others. I offer in-person and online calligraphy courses, corporate in-house workshops, as well as private 1-on-1 tutorials.
