The PPC Academy

In-depth learning: The EPPC Academy courses are designed to cover a deeper view into specific scripts to give you a better understanding and retention of them.

Hands-on experience: In these longer courses, you are given a framework in which to practice and develop your skill, as well as allowing a chance to apply this in your artwork.

Feedback and guidance: With more time, you’ll receive ongoing feedback and guidance from the Academy’s teachers to help you hone your skills and abilities.

Networking opportunities: A long course often provides wonderful opportunities to connect with your peers and teachers, and we have found EPPC students who have developed long-lasting friendships with calligraphy friends around the work, which can be invaluable from both a professional and personal perspective.

Integrating your learning: As you grow in confidence over the months of a course, you’ll have more chance to incorporate what you learn into your daily life, which is both satisfying and solidifying.

Personal growth: Commiting yourself to a longer course is a wonderful way to expand your calligraphy goals and allow you to master a script that might seem otherwise elusive.

The EPPC Academy aims to provide comprehensive training, personalised attention, and a greater opportunity to retain and apply what you learn over a longer period of time. The cost of the Academy’s courses gives students the opportunity to dive into a script with a masterful teacher.

Comprehensive curriculum: A long course offers a more comprehensive curriculum, covering essential topics in greater depth compared to a weekend course.

Personalised attention: When you receive personalised attention from your teacher, you may gain better understanding of the material and have more opportunities for one-on-one feedback.

Time for practice and application: By focusing on details of a script over a period of months, you have more time to practice and apply what you’ve learned, which is essential for mastery of the script.

Career Advancement: The EPPC’s students come from around the world with different levels of experience and varied motivations for their studies and we love this! For those looking to enhance their portfolio, the Academy provides a point of focus that can give them both the skills and knowledge to advance their careers, making it a valuable investment in their future.

A key difference in our weekend classes and the Academy masterclasses is time. Time can have a significant impact on the learning process in several ways.

Duration: A longer time frame allows for more opportunities to practice and build mastery in a subject.

Spacing: Spacing out learning sessions over time, as opposed to cramming, can help you retain the information.

Connection: Cecilia and Kate have always felt strongly about the power of connecting with passionate people who want to share in the joy and love of calligraphy. We have already seen real life friendships form through previous long courses and our Calligrabuddies program, and we anticipate that these intimate masterclasses will give you the chance to meet and connect with people who can support you along the way, whether through your calligraphy studies or life experiences. Connection is a powerful tool.

The individual course page will confirm exact numbers, but we will be keeping numbers low to ensure the most benefit to students.

You’ll find specific details on the course page, with the price reflecting the in-depth nature of the study provided to a small group of students.
