“I first discovered Ellie Shopova-Smith through her YouTube videos (in Bulgarian) and was immediately drawn to her clear, structured teaching style.

As a complete beginner in calligraphy, I really appreciated how accessible and easy to follow her lessons were. Her Modern Calligraphy Workbook for Complete Beginners felt like the perfect next step in my learning journey. I love that the workbook includes both lowercase and uppercase letters, as well as practice for key symbols. The exercises are thoughtfully designed and give just the right amount of guidance and repetition to build confidence and muscle memory. I’m really glad I invested in this workbook—it’s helped me stay motivated and consistent with my calligraphy practice. Highly recommend for anyone starting out!”
