"The faculty and students of Kalli Camp Academy have created a remarkable community of lettering artists and calligraphers; when I chat with a teacher or fellow classmate online, it feels like talking to a friend. The instruction is solid, and the instructors are fast to connect when students reach out. The best part about joining the Kallicamp community has been the constant encouragement that I've received as I've found my path as a new calligrapher."
