Welcome To My Hand-Lettering Course!

I can't wait for you to get started...

Hi! Welcome to Hand-lettering with Type Affiliated!

My name is Hayley Barry and I am so excited to teach you all the in’s and out’s of hand-lettering!

By the end of this class, you will be what I like to call a “self-reliant lettering artist” meaning that you will have all the tools and the knowledge to confidently go forward to create work that is unique, beautiful, meaningful and well designed. Whether you’re brand new to hand-lettering or excited to learn how to take your work to the next level and develop a unique style, this class is for you!

Over the course of the class, we will be covering topics like letterform structure, weight, height, contrast, serifs, spurs, drop shadows, 3D lettering, flourishes, decorations, kerning, emotion, and more!

The course consists of step by step videos with clear, simple teaching. As part of the course, you will get a downloadable workbook that we will use throughout each of the lessons. Other than the workbook, all you need is a pen or pencil, no fancy expensive tools required!

And that’s not all! When creating this class, it was super important to me that there be a level of accountability built into the lessons. I wanted to be sure that you as a student were receiving the support and feedback that you need to become an awesome lettering artist, which is why at the end of each assignment there will be a place for you to upload your work! At the end of each lesson, you’ll be able to submit your work and get positive, constructive feedback directly from me on how to get even better!

I am so excited for you to join me in this lettering course! Let’s get busy lettering!

"This class was a great introduction to lettering! I lived how clear Hayley was about the most important parts of hand lettering. The shapes of the letters, how to keep things consistent... It was just what I needed to give me the basics and start going on my own from there!"

"I loved the clear, step-by-step instruction and how we went though every step of the process and combined it all at the end. Hayley did a great job explaining why each element was important and revlevant and how we can use it to make something wonderful."

"The course is so well presented and has been so worth my time! I have practiced multiple times a day and feel so much more confident in my lettering! I know what to look for and what makes hand-lettering such a beautiful art form"
