The popularity of digital calligraphy has exploded over the past several years. Paired with tablet devices like the iPad, mobile art programs and apps fun, accessible, and convenient.

What Supplies do I Need?

The supplies recommended are an iPad, Apple Pencil*, and the App Procreate (a one-time purchase).

I'll give you all of the other resources that we'll use in the workshop including brushes, guides, and more.

For more details about supplies, head over to the Procreate 101 Supplies Page. 

I've also answered several common questions in the FAQ section below.

*Note: Technically an Apple Pencil is optional because it you can draw/write in Procreate with just your finger, but the Apple Pencil includes several features and makes for a much more natural writing experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can absolutely take this class as a beginner. Although some background or experience with Procreate is helpful, I'll provide a brief summary on the key elements for using the app before diving into the detailed workshop about how to use the Procreate Blackletter Builder product.

This class is perfect if you already have some familiarity with Procreate. The majority of the classes will be focused on using the Procreate Blackletter Builder to write this style of calligraphy in Procreate. I'll also share tips and tricks along the way and take student questions. 

Nope - and this new Procreate Blackletter Builder toolkit makes it easier than ever to create beautiful gothic calligraphy art. Anyone can learn to write beautifully. 😃

You will have ongoing access to all of the recordings - there is no planned expiration, so you will have continued access to this course as long as the Blackletter Foundry learning platform is online. 

No, you don't need to know anything about computers or technology to get value from this workshop or to be able to learn and use this Procreate. If you've ever written with a pencil or pen on paper, you already have all the skills you'll need. You'll also have access to the class recordings that you can continue to reference at your convenience in the future.

Not at all - in order to follow along, you will need any iPad, the app Procreate from the Apple App Store, and ideally an Apple Pencil. Technically, you can even draw and write with just your fingers (I've done this before!), but an Apple Pencil will make your experience much better and more natural.

Absolutely not! One of the great things about Procreate is that it works with a variety of iPad models. I had an earlier version of Procreate that ran on the very first iPad ever release (waaay back in 2010).

Here's the compatibility list, directly from the makers of Procreate.

There are so many iPad models that have been released over the years that it can be pretty hard to figure out which one you have to check against the Procreate compatibility list (see the last FAQ question above).

Here's how to check which model of iPad you have directly from Apple: Identify Your iPad Model

There are so many iPad models available now that it can be pretty hard to understand the differences and which one to buy. To help, I wrote a detailed article explaining the differences with suggestions on recommended models. You can find the article here: Which iPad is Best for Procreate?

Unfortunately, no. Each version of the pencil - is compatible with specific iPad models, and it can be pretty confusing. To figure out which one is compatible with your iPad:

Step 1: Check which model of iPad you have - here's an article from Apple: Identify Your iPad Model
Step 2: Check which Apple Pencil is compatible with your iPad model: Apple Pencil Compatibility
