EPPC ALUMNI

Daily quotes to keep you busy with scripts that you learned with us and grow our community

 

We’re happy to launch our monthly challenge to keep our alumni busy practising the scripts they have learned with us.

The rules of this challenge are very simple: use these daily quotes for your pointed pen practice with the pointed pen style of your preference & share pictures on Instagram tagging @learnpointedpen and using #eppc_monthlychallenge.

In your caption, please specify the script you used and perhaps write a short testimonial, telling why you used that specific script and what you liked about the class you took.

This will enable us to repost and share your work on Instagram as well as upload it to this ONLINE GALLERY for EPPC students, crediting your IG handle.

We hope you to see your wonderful pieces day by day from now on! Don’t forget to keep an eye on our Classes and EPPC Academy pages, and sign up to our mailing list for any new learning opportunities we launch.

Let’s get started!

 

PS: All past months are at the end of this page to inspire your daily pointed pen practice!
