“I was so excited to find Loveleigh Loops when I did! I taught myself calligraphy when I was 11 years old and dabbled in calligraphy for many years doing weddings for friends, family, and a few commissions, but it was more of just a hobby. My artist daughter constantly encouraged me to do more art and showed me where to look on the internet, where I found my playground!

I signed up for the Loveleigh University because I knew I had so much more to learn, and Jillian and Jordan were fantastic instructors. The lessons are so precise that I am learning not only the styles and compositions, but why they work (or in many of my cases, don't work).

They put the courses in such an easy to follow order that I build on skills and have goals for each lesson. The personal touches combined with the detailed video instruction make LU a truly inspiring, fun, motivating place to try new things and feel successful!

I am a big fan and highly recommend the courses offered through Loveleigh Loops! Try one class and you'll be hooked!”

“Jillian and Jordan are excellent teachers. They managed to take me from pen and ink to iPad/Procreate lettering.

It is amazing to me that they can communicate both old fashioned ways and high tech ways to create artistic lettering. None better!

“As a stroke survivor, I was in search of hand strengthening activities. I knew nothing of hand lettering, aside from the term "calligraphy" and fountain pens, of which I owned a few.

Their boot camp was inspiring. Not only did I reach the goals as assigned, because they are creative ones as well as protocol, but I physically improved, with better control of my writing device and produced clearer written letters.

These ladies are wonderfully encouraging. Their confidence assures you of the authenticity of quality of what they teach and the endless possibilities of what you can accomplish.”

If you are serious about learning calligraphy, Loveleigh University is the right choice. I am 3 months in and it is going so well that I am already learning my second calligraphy style. Jillian and Jordan have structured these classes so that anyone willing to put in the work will be able to learn. If you are a lefty like me, there are even drills specifically for left handed people.

And the best part is that these courses are not just practice sheets that you trace and you’re done. There are step-by-step videos, critiques of your work at every stage and a private community to share questions and answers. The community is extremely supportive.

I started Loveleigh University to learn a new skill to add to my artwork and improve my dexterity. I am very happy with my choice and recommend it to anyone looking for a great resource for learning calligraphy.”

“Being a part of Loveleigh University has been an integral part of my calligraphy journey. I started following the plan that Jordan and Jillian have set up for their students (instead of skipping to the more advanced coursework). The improvement in my pointed pen work is immeasurable.

There are so many things I like about Jordan and Jillian's teaching style; it is extremely thorough and organized. I like watching the instruction videos and hearing J&J say "Oh, that wasn't a great oval. Let me try that again." It's nice to see that even good letterers aren't perfect--to see the human side of a more advanced calligrapher instead of just the polished instagram version. Jordan and Jillian are kind, caring, supportive, and involved in the LU community.”

"I have not only learned calligraphy with these two ladies. I learned lessons for life and I met so many amazing people whose friendships go so much further than just calligra-chats.

Learning with J&J is like sitting down together at a table with some great friends, spending the night doing calligraphy, chatting, laughing and having fun. What they do comes from the heart and they teach in a way that it covers all types of learners; logical, creative, scientific,..

For me, learning from them is not just mastering a skill. It is being part of a community they built and that feels like I belong there."

"I began calligraphy in 2018, cobbling together free tutorials online, and wondering if I was doing it right. I thought I had the basics down, but it didn’t look as professional as it could be. I came across Loveleigh Loops in 2019 and was very impressed by their clear, concise way of teaching even complex subjects. The Loveleigh ladies helped me every step of the way to hone my skills and find my style. Their attention to detail and the time they took to help me improve were amazing. Not only that, but I also had the LU community giving me advice and cheering me on.

I love their courses and teaching style: they break everything down into logical, easy follow lessons, and they speak in very calm, clear voices that are easy to understand. I am especially impressed that they take the time to explain the reasons why, instead of just giving you the steps.

Going through all the calligraphy courses in order has given me the best base I could ever have for being confident in my calligraphy - confident enough that I began helping others, eventually becoming a coach for the community.

My goal was simply to gain confidence in my skills, and now I feel I can do anything, and do it well."

“On April 3, 2012, my life was turned upside down. I fell from a ladder and broke my leg, a normal injury for most people, but the beginning of a journey full of changes for me. At time time I was loving my career and life as a Stem Cell Transplant and Cancer nurse. The broken leg was the domino that uncovered a life time worth of unanswered medical questions. I was diagnosed with numerous rare conditions that had no treatment or cure also stripping me of my independence and ability to care for myself.

Needless to say I had no idea about art, no idea about digital programs (I was a nurse) or how to use any software…..! I also lacked any motivation to try because I thought there was no way I could be taught! I’m still thankful Loveleigh Loops was an accidental discovery (I had no intention of falling into calligraphy….. but have and love it!).

I can not wait to see what I am able to create when I do work through more of the courses. These ladies have blessed me with the opportunity to learn from the wealth of information in their courses and their support and encouragement in the community they have built.

I never in my wildest dreams thought that someone could teach me art in a way that I could not only understand but also thrive and flourish! In Loveleigh University, I am learning the technique as well as nurturing the ability to help look at others work with a constructively critical eye. I was so surprised that this step out of my comfort zone was so natural with the amazing and supportive community of like minded artists. I love having a safe place and keep learning more about myself every day!”

Testimonial from Atricia Ann Castaneda. Loveleigh Loops courses helped learn and find my own style.

“I started not knowing how to do lettering and calligraphy and at first I just wanted to improve my handwriting and try something new. Loveleigh Loops courses help me grow, learn and find the my own style. Their teaching style was really easy to grasp and they encourage us more which help me tremendously as I learn. I am still learning and exploring other styles, compositions and layouts and I am truly glad that Jillian and Jordan made us all feel like family and go alongside with us through our creative journey.”

“I've learned a tremendous amount about how to use Procreate from Jillian’s and Jordan’s online courses. They are so easy to follow and I loved being able to pause or rewind if I missed something or needed to better understand the lesson. I like how the lessons are broken down and have various projects within each pack. I keep going back to the courses to refresh my memory on how to do something or to get some inspiration. My only regret is I wish I would have signed up for the courses sooner!”

Testimonial from Neeta Budhraja. Its the ways and techniques Jordan and Jillian use to teach these calligraphy skills that I am where I am today!

“I joined the Loveleigh Loops calligraphy community as a beginner and in just one year I am proud to say that I am an expert in modern calligraphy and have become excellent in my iPad lettering in such short span. It’s the ways and techniques Jordan and Jillian use to teach these calligraphy skills that I am where I am today!

What I like the most about Jordan and Jillian is that they explain each and every step so clearly and also provide all the notes and details which no no one else provide! They teach in such loving manner that no one else teach!

I have gained confidence in my iPad lettering and creating my own brushes and I am now making my own procreate brushes and ready to sell them online.

The most important part is that they make me feel as a part of their own family.. and I can say with confidence that so does every community member feels about them..”

“I spent weeks searching for a course to learn Copperplate Calligraphy and came across a video of Jillian & Jordan and it changed everything. I signed up for their course, downloaded the workbook and practiced everyday. The tutorials were clear, each step broken down into details that made learning virtually easy. The little I knew was vastly improved after completing the course, to the point where I finally felt ready to put my work out there. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.”

Testimonial from Romalyn Dolores. "I love how in depth they go with their explanation and their critiques and they make me feel like I'm doing a great job (even when my writing was messy). "

“I started my journey as a hobby, never did I realize that this hobby would become a skill that I can be proud of and a skill that I can use to make so many people happy. Jillian and Jordan's style of teaching is like no other.

I love how in depth they go with their explanation and their critiques and they make me feel like I'm doing a great job (even when my writing was messy).

Our Loveleigh Loops community also helped me so much when I was just starting out. I never felt ashamed sharing my initial work, even when they weren't as professional looking as some of the other people's work. There's a great support system in this community for sure!”

“I have always loved handwriting and lettering and had done it for fun on and off. However, when I started doing these courses it ignited my passion for it again. I had never done digital calligraphy before until these courses, and since posting my work on Instagram and other socials I literally got my first couple of customers. It has been super fun and I love that I can offer Digital Lettering.”

“Investing in Jillian and Jordan's BLB Coaching Program is the best decision I could've made to further my lettering skills. I looked forward to connecting with them during each coaching session and absorbing their feedback. I'm so thankful to have had the opportunity to learn from them directly. If you're not sure where to start, check out the free content in their Facebook groups!”

The availability of free video material helps me to find out if I want to go deeper into a specific technique with advanced courses. I have chosen the Procreate Lettering Projects and I am thrilled.”

“I’m enjoying my online course. Jillian and Jordan are amazing instructors. As a faculty in higher education, I can assure you that they do an excellent job explaining steps, speak slowly and give reasons behind the process. As a beginner, it’s nice to have all of this information in one course opposed to searching several sites. The course is easy to follow and has helped me on my brush lettering journey. I’m still learning but am much further along than I was after taking their courses.”

“I've learned everything I know about calligraphy from Jordan and Jillian through their online classes. They break everything down step by step and make it accessible. Even something like flourishing that seems to have no steps, they were able to teach a process. Jordan and Jillian have helped me learn and appreciate this hobby and I am so grateful for that!”

“I love learning from the twins!! I’ve been with them since my first contact with faux lettering course on youtube, because I didn’t even have a brush pen at the time! And the way they teach really helped me!! Until now I’ve studied almost all of their courses and I’m very proud of my lettering because of them!!”

“All the way from India I found Jillian and Jordan, and it's been phenomenal to learn from them.. I've enrolled in almost all their online courses and love how they've explained and made every course easy and simple to master. The Procreate course has me spell bound - it one of my favourite digital course. Love every aspect of Loveleigh Loops - above all you two are so accessible and quick to help.”

“As a professional lettering artist and illustrator for over thirty years, I've used all sorts of traditional and digital tools to create my artwork. About two years ago, I began using the Procreate app on the iPad. I took one of the free Loveleigh Loops tips and tricks class for Procreate and found it to be very helpful. When I saw they were offering a class on how to make your own brushes, I signed up. I had made some brushes previously but this class really helped me to understand the process in a clear and simple way. Their methods of teaching are fun and easy to follow plus they had so many features added to the class like patterns, stamps and textures. I also enjoy seeing the work everyone is posting on the facebook community as they put some of the newly learned techniques into practice.”

“I believe the Loveleigh Loops tutorials I’ve taken have really helped me level up with my lettering skills. Not only am I producing better work, but it’s also increased my confidence to put my work out there and start making money off of my hobby. I also love how engaging and supporting Jillian, Jordan, and the whole Loveleigh Loops community is.”

“Jordan and Jillian’s style of teaching is positive, calm, patient, precise, and detailed. They teach explaining the fundaments of how and why. Their style of teaching helps me learn with confidence that what I’m doing is correct, and I’m not just going through the motions to create. I’m creating with mindfulness. The lettering community is a positive, supportive community that makes it fun and easy to grow along side with, creatively and personally.”

Laura Bergmann - @laurabeecreations


Loveleigh Loops is the platform I rely upon to fill in the gaps of knowledge I have regarding calligraphy. The online community is where I get to appreciate the work, opinions, and feedbacks from fellow artists. I am glad Jillian and Jordan are part of my calligraphy journey and I appreciate their contributions to my journey.”

Leena - @leenaletters


“I somehow came across Loveleigh Loops a little while ago and I have loved being a part of their Calligraphy Community ever since. Jillian and Jordan's teaching style makes learning so easy and so much fun! I particularly love the way they explain the "why" and not just the "how" which always helps me remember. I would highly recommend any of Loveleigh Loops courses. I have learnt so much and my calligraphy has just flourished!”

Caroline Cooper - @carolinecoopercreative


“Adapting to digital lettering and illustration can be intimidating, even if you have a somewhat artistic background. It was thanks to Jillian and Jordan that I was able to understand the initially daunting, but in reality simple and helpful concept of layers, as well as the tips and tricks of controlled stylus strokes, with which I started my own art creations. They are also natural teachers, making everyone comfortable no matter their learning pace, allowing non-tech people like me to dive in without hesitation. I am also thankful for the incredibly supportive Loveleigh Loops community. Stay artsy!”
