The most comprehensive program for learning, playing and applying lettering to your own projects this holiday season!

It’s Time To Ditch The Feeling of:

→ Frustration. You paint your own watercolor holiday tags and cards, but tense up when it’s time to letter a holiday phrase. You’re frustrated that your handwriting just doesn’t match the beautiful painting you just spent hours on!

→ Doubt. You doubt that you can do lettering because you’ve tried before and it hasn’t clicked.

→ Exhaustion. You’re tried of scrolling through social media seeing all the pretty lettering that you want to do too!

Because I want to help you go from those feelings of frustration, doubt and exhaustion to feeling joy, confidence and excitement to share your new lettering skills!

INTRODUCING

A transformative 6-week program designed to help you learn, play and apply lettering to your own projects this holiday season!

Watch the video above to learn more!

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

6 Core Modules

This program is broken down into 6 Modules each focusing on a different Core Lesson: Highs & Lows, Seeing Shapes, Flourishing, Playing with the Angles, The Space Between, and Bounce & Flow. After each Module, you will walk away with another tool in your toolbox to help you achieve the lettering style that you want! Speaking of tools, you can use any lettering tool as you move through this program, whether you are a brush pen lover or you are a Procreate wizard!

40 + Video Lessons

Each of these video lessons are designed to help you move through my 4-Part Aha Moments Framework: Observe, Analyze, Exercise, and Play. I break it down and walk you through each step so it’s not overwhelming. You will be able to pause and watch at your own pace and with two camera angles, the videos will feel like I’m right there in your home guiding you! If you want a peek at my teaching style, watch the September training here.

Downloadable Worksheets & Guides

Each Module will have worksheets for you to print out and go through with me on the video. These aren’t full of fluff I promise! They are designed to get you to actually DO the lettering and not just observe. Because I am here to teach and push you to do the work :) With both traceable parts and space for you to apply the Core Lessons on your own, these worksheets will become your best helping friend!

Holiday Projects

You can’t take a Lettering for the Holidays course and not have projects to show off! At the end of each Module we will make a holiday project together using what we learned in that Module. For example, in Module 3: Flourishes, you will learn how, where and when to add flourishes to make your lettering come to life. You get to choose which holiday you want to make the projects for. There will be video instructions, a supply list and templates given to help you get started right away!

Downloadable Project Templates

Now here's the thing, I know the holidays are the busiest time of the year! So I’ve made it easy for you with templates and guides for each project to just plug in your lettering and go! I know figuring out the layout is often the hard part, so I have your back with the pre-made templates.

In addition, I have included finished examples as well, so you print out and use that as your guide. Reminder: you get to pick which holiday your create for, whether you pick one or all of them!

A Whole New Perspective on Lettering

One of my goals of Lettering for the Holidays is for you to see lettering in a new way. Because I remember after my first year majoring in Graphic Design, I couldn’t look at any logo or billboard sign the same way. I would analyze the letters, take photos of different ways to draw a B, and I learned to be able to see things differently. I know that you will walk away from this program with a new understanding of lettering and the confidence to letter.

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE

If you sign up for the Full 6-Week Coaching Program you will also get…

6 Weeks of Accountability

Each week a new Module will be available so that we can go through it together. I know learning something new can be overwhelming, so I’ve designed this program in stages. Each week you will have many opportunties to take in the teachings through the videos, worksheets, Office Hours, and the Community Discussion Board.

In the full program, I will be able to encourage and support you to actually finish and follow through each week. I don’t want this to be another course you sign up for but don’t actually complete!

Weekly Office Hours with Support from ME!

The biggest thing I miss from when I taught in-person workshops is seeing your individual pain points. Enter in Office Hour Live Sessions — your opportunity to get personal feedback and help!

Each week there will be a time window where I will be on Zoom available to help you work through your frustrations. This will be a first come, first serve type of situation. If you are not able to attend, you can email me the question before hand and I will go through it on the video for you to watch on the replay.

Community Discussion Board & Sharing!

I remember in school how helpful it was to have feedback from my peers. Yes, it is intimidating to share your work with others, but just like in school, when you have a Community two things will happen:

1) It gets you to share. This is a muscle I want to help you create during this program and encourage you to share your art.

2) In our Community you will be able to see what others create! We each have our own signature and it is so cool to see another person’s spin on the same holiday phrase.

MEET YOUR COACH

Hi, I’m Nicole Miyuki! It’s nice to meet you!

I’ve combined my experience from teaching thousands of students in person, online and through my books to create a structure that will help you go from frustrated to feeling the joy of lettering.

With my 4-Step Framework that I am coining the Aha Moments: 1) Observe 2) Analyze 3) Exercise 4) Play —we will learn what makes different lettering styles unique. You will gain knowledge of the “Why” and “How” of different lettering styles and learn some typography and graphic design terms as well!

Then I will guide you in implementing what you have learned with your own lettering to create those holiday projects!

The 4-Step Aha Framework

This is how each Module will be structured to help you learn each core lesson!

STEP 1: OBSERVE

In order to change your lettering, you first need to understand and see. So often we look at other’s lettering and think it’s pretty, but can’t say why. Is it the angle, is it the shape? In each Observe video, I breakdown and help you see these nuances that will give you those big AHA moments where it clicks!

STEP 2: ANALYZE

After observing and seeing, the next step is to analyze. This is where the worksheets come into play. We’ll analyze your own lettering and see what your tendencies are and how we can use this knowledge to change things up. We will also analyze and look at "case studies" on many of my lettering colleagues and friends like Becca from The Happy Ever Crafter, Tara of Rad & Happy, Karla from Written Word Calligraphy, and more! This will help show and remind you that there are SO MANY lettering styles out there and we can learn to create your own by studying what makes others unique!

STEP 3: EXERCISE

The next step is to exercise those things we learned on your own lettering! I’m not here to just “show you” what to do. You are going to do the work with my help, of course, and apply what you learned to create new lettering styles. This is where it starts to come together!

STEP 4: PLAY

And finally, I’m taking the same structure from my lettering book, By Hand, where we learn a lesson and then PLAY to create an actual project! Because leaving this program with your own projects is the fun part!

This is a unique way to learn and I truly believe in empowering and encouraging you to see lettering differently.

Got Some Questions?
Ask away!

  • Yes! The Self-Study Track will remain available so you can join when it works for you. If it’s during the 6 weeks, you’ll see the Modules uploaded week by week. If it’s after, you will immediately have access to all 6 Modules! And yes you have lifetime access.

  • Module 1: Highs & Lows

    Module 2: Seeing Shapes

    Module 3: Flourishes

    Module 4: Playing with the Angle

    Module 5: The Space Between

    Module 6: Bounce & Flow

  • A new Module will be released each week, but if you’re starting now you are not behind! Reminder you have lifetime access.

    Module 1: Oct 14th - 20th

    Module 2: Oct 21st - 27th

    Module 3: Oct 28th - Nov 3rd

    Module 4: Nov 4th - 10th

    Module 5: Nov 11th - 17th

    Module 6: Nov 18th - 24th

  • The beauty is that if you are a busy mom with little pockets of time, you can learn in 15 minute intervals — watch a video and then do a quick worksheet.

    For each module, I would dedicate one hour per week to watch the videos. For the projects, it depends on how much time you want to spend. But you can definitely create these projects in an hour or so as well.

  • You will receive an email on where to go.

    The Full Coaching Program will be housed in an all-in one hub that you will get access to immediately. If you're a member of The A Bunch Crew, this is the same format you all know and love!

    The Self-Study Track will get an email with information on where to go starting Oct 14th when the content will be available.

    Both options have lifetime access.

  • Both the Full Coaching Program and the Self-Study Track have lifetime access which means you don't have to stress if you are busy right now. The course will be there when you are ready and can pick up here and there!

    The only part that is timely to the 6 weeks are the Office Hours and personal support from me. But if you have a special case we can talk and figure something out!

  • You will receive a full list of supplies. However, here is the secret, I love teaching lettering using whatever supplies you have!

    I am not teaching traditional calligraphy where you need a pointed pen or a brush pen to get those thin and thick lines. So you truly can use whatever your favorite lettering tool is whether it's just a marker or you prefer digital lettering on Procreate.

    A light pad or tracing paper will come in handy with the printed worksheets though!

  • I know there are SO many holidays and I absolutely do not want anyone to feel left out!

    I will be covering the main holidays of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years with a whole list of different phrases to use. However, we also letter Dia de Los Muertos, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and more. Plus, if you sign up for the Full Coaching Program and I did not letter your holiday, I can teach it inside the Office Hour for you!

  • Each student in the Coaching Program will receive a survey to see the best times for the majority of our group. I am thinking each week will vary slightly since we all have different schedules and time zones! I want to be sure to accommodate different schedules.

  • We will give full refunds until Oct 12th

    After Oct 12th due to the nature of this being a digital product, you will not be able to receive a refund for your purchase. For more information regarding this policy, view our Terms & Conditions or email hello@nicolemiyuki.com.

ONE LAST THING

Why did I make this program?

Short answer: Because I love to help people.

Long answer: Because I am following a calling I feel in my heart to help you see lettering in a new way. Some of you may have known me since I started teaching in-person lettering workshops in 2015. I went through teaching in class to online summits and then with Let’s Make Art. The one thing I’ve felt I haven’t quite been able to replicate is the one-on-one feeling we had in those in-person workshops.

Enter in this coaching program. I am beyond excited to have this structure and format to be able to share all that I have learned with you! All while getting us a head start on our holiday decorating!

This program is my way of being able to make it feel like I’m right there with you teaching and cheering you on.
