Lettering Dream Team

Lisa & Addi

Addi & Lisa have both loved lettering their whole lives. Having taken classes and gone to great lengths to scour the internet, read books, watch tutorials and practice their hearts out, they love sharing their knowledge so you can have a simple and straightforward method to learning the best techniques out there! Lisa & Addi both love lettering to be able to keep inspiring words around their families to help them feel encouraged and to focus on what really matters. They hope to help you do the same as you surround yourself and your family with words that are meaningful to you!They both are moms of young kids (7 between them) and love lettering when they can. They also love to laugh and their silly selves so you'll definitely have fun laughing with them throughout each course!

I learned quite a few things from this course. I like that the instructors took you through the whole process, including mistakes! However, the Summer of Chalk Art Mini-Course bonus material advertised on the HLD website was missing from my course. I have reached out and they fixed the issue. I hope that they create more chalk art courses in the future.

I truly enjoyed the course; I have more confidence in what tools to use and how to use them to get the various effects. I do wish, though, that either at the end of each video or as part of the "text" section that there were actual finished examples of your work to show it "in action"; that would have brought it full circle. Working on the final board and the birthday board did help in regards to placement, but just some additional "real" examples would have cemented what you were teaching in the video.

Next time you tape these lessons, make sure the guy next door isn't using his lawn mower or blower. Also, you might want to check in with the discussion boards. 12 days later and no answers doesn't bring a lot of trust for your brand. However, I'm learning a lot of new tips which has been valuable. Is there a Facebook group for this class? Another suggestion for you.
