Flow in script lettering is never accidental.
This is not for the faint of heart.

“Script Lettering Bootcamp” is a focused program for script enthusiasts, from beginners to practitioners, ready to advance their practice.

  • $860

  • A month of intensive study on script lettering
    4 x Saturday: Full-day workshops (10:00–17:00)
    4 x Wednesdays: Observation sessions (19:00 start)

  • 3–6 participants

  • Online (live with recording available for 3 months)

We start by going back to ground zero, reworking how you see space, proportion, and form. From there, we build a stronger foundation before moving into script styles and flourishing. Along the way, you will expand your observation skills to produce consistent work independently.

With its mini size, each participant receives personalized support throughout the bootcamp. It allows space for open discussion, feedback exchange, and learning together.

By the end of the four weeks, you will be able to produce consistent, intentional, quality script lettering with confidence. More importantly, you will have a clear method to continue improving on your own.

Bootcamp 

I love learning! Workshops always introduce new ideas and techniques. At the same time, I’ve noticed that real growth happens in between, when I step back to reflect, practice, digest, and study on my own before returning to learn again. This bootcamp is an attempt to create the kind of learning program my younger self would have benefited from, with ongoing guidance and a clear growth path in sight. Over four weeks, this "learn-practice-reflect-repeat" cycle is what transforms knowledge into reliable ability.

The bootcamp structure alternates between teaching and independent practice:

4 Full-day workshops
These classroom sessions are focused blocks where we introduce and work through new material.

4 Observation sessions
An open studio where we look at the drawing boards and carry the momentum forward. With individual feedback and discussion, you accelerate as you begin to see more clearly.

You learn something, test it on your own, run into friction, and return with better questions. That back-and-forth pushes progress. On top of being shown how to do something, it shifts the emphasis to putting what you learn into use, building a clearer understanding of what is happening on your page. That’s where the growth you’re looking for starts to show up.

6 People max

I believe in mentorship. With a small group, I can actually see what’s happening in your work. How you draw, where things fall apart, where you hesitate, what keeps repeating without you noticing. That’s the kind of feedback that matters.

It also changes how we learn together. You’re not only hearing from me, you see how others approach their work, where they struggle, and how they work through it. That becomes part of your own learning.

6 people feel like the right number for me to do this properly, and to provide each of you with the level of attention I care about.

Materials

  • Mechanical pencil

  • Conventional pencil (6B preferred or anything softer than 2B)

  • Eraser (Regular & Mono Tombow Zero eraser)

  • Clear Ruler with markings

  • Markerpaper (at least A4 / Letter size)

  • Optional: iPad with Procreate - All of us will begin with hands-on, using conventional tools. For those who are already proficient in Procreate, you can choose to draw on an iPad later on. (We can always discuss troubleshooting, but there will be no dedicated lesson on how to use Procreate)

"Before Ying's masterclass, I felt really unsure about working with scripts. I didn’t know where to start or how to use flourishes in a way that worked. Ying’s guidance made everything so much clearer—she showed me how to approach it and gave me the confidence to experiment.

I highly recommend her class! My work has improved so much, and now I actually enjoy creating scripts, all thanks to her."

She really has a very sharp eye and a lot of experience with all kinds of styles, she's a true reference of styles! If you have any chance to take any of her workshops pleaseee do not let that opportunity go!! Seriously, she rocks! <3 “
