Once you have had a go at her own Alphabetty of calligraphic letters, you are encouraged to develop your own individual style, with a section of projects, from invitations to writing on China. Learn to embrace mistakes, play around with new ideas Betty encourages practising not just with pen and paper, but writing on mirrors in lipstick or etching messages into a plant leaf and express yourself with beautiful lettering and flourishes.
