Hand Lettering Basics: Block Letters

For Older Adults

About the Program

Discover the fun of expressing words through art! In this beginner‑friendly hand lettering program for older adults, you’ll learn how to turn simple writing into eye‑catching illustrated letters. We’ll start with classic block lettering and explore the differences between clean, modern styles and more traditional or decorative serif styles.

Participants will receive a workbook to use during the session and continue practicing at home. No experience is needed - just bring your curiosity and enjoy learning a new creative skill in a relaxed, supportive setting.
