Hosted by @Alina Snepste of Creative Feel Designs Join us right here in the HobbyScool Skool community for a gentle, 3-day Bounce & Flow Brush Calligraphy Mini Challenge led by Alina Snepste. This challenge is designed to help you loosen up your lettering and explore rhythm, spacing, and expressive movement—without pressure. Perfect for beginners and experienced letterers who want to soften their style and play with bounce. Here’s how it works: 📅 Feb 2 – Day 1: Bounce BasicsWe’re kicking things off with a floral, summery prompt—“marigold glow.”Alina will guide you through simple drills and show you how to move from baseline lettering into gentle bounce, letter by letter. 📅 Feb 3 – Day 2: Spacing & RhythmWe’ll letter the quote:“All good things are wild and free” — ThoreauYour challenge is to letter it twice—once condensed, once airy—to feel how spacing changes the flow. 📅 Feb 4 – Day 3: Composition & PlanningWe’ll bring everything together with a longer quote and learn how to plan layout, balance bounce, and create a cohesive lettering piece. ✨ What to know: • Beginner-friendly • No perfection required • Share as much or as little as you like • Focused on play, flow, and exploration 👉 Comment below if you’re joining us!
