Choose one edition: English or French. Each workbook is sold separately in the selected language.
A dedicated physical edition
Developed from the Artful Hand Studio PDF workbooks, this edition has been reworked for practice in a printed book. Its content is available exclusively in physical form: no PDF of this physical edition will be distributed. The digital workbooks sold separately are distinct editions.
Inside the workbook
- Reference sheets for 6 basic strokes and the construction of all 26 lowercase letters.
- 30 pages of progressive exercises: strokes and letter components, lowercase letters, connections, words, alphabet review, sentences and short texts.
- 10 sides of ruled paper for independent practice.
- A reusable guide sheet and the syllabus shown in the product gallery.
Watch the exact movement with QR codes
A QR code beside the model for each stroke or letter being studied opens its corresponding video demonstration. You will find these codes in the exercise pages. Scan it to see the movement and how the stroke or letter is formed, then return to the printed exercises. A QR-capable phone or tablet and an internet connection are required.
Paper chosen for practice
Exercise pages: thick 200 gsm paper, printed on both sides. Designed for practising on the front and back with fountain pen ink or India ink, while limiting show-through on the other side. Ink flow and drying time vary with your ink and nib; try your combination on a small area first.
Front matter, reference and explanation pages: 120 gsm paper. These pages are for reading and guidance, and are not intended for writing exercises.
Practice tip: let the ink dry
After working on the front of a sheet, pause until the ink is fully dry before turning it over to write on the back. This helps prevent smudging and wet ink transferring onto the next page. Drying time depends on the ink and the amount applied.
