It’s time to step away from your screens and pick up a pen to celebrate National Handwriting Day on 23rd January. Rather than relying on technology, why not write a letter to a friend, start a journal or even jot down that never-ending to-do list? Handwriting allows you to express your personality and get creative, but if it’s not your strong point, don’t fear. We have over 40 free calligraphy and hand-lettering exercises for you to choose from, simply click on each book cover below to download your practice pages.
