After doing a one off class in person I joined Maria's online live copperplate classes. One 2 hour class a week for 4 weeks. Half the classes related to lower case letters and the other to capital letters. The cameras she has setup gives you a close up on her work which is so easy to follow. The 2 hours in length is perfect time wise and you learn so much. She is so generous with her time and often went over time tending to questions and providing guidance. Good quality tools were provided and the ability to watch back the recorded session as many times as you like. Thanks Maria!

My mom and I attended a calligraphy course with Maria and had the BEST time. We really enjoyed learning the background of the font as well as having loads on hands on practice and one on one time and positive critiques. By the end we were feeling like pros! Lunch was really great too and all the tea you can drink. We were sad when it ended and will hopefully get to do a weekend course next! Can't recommend enough, we both loved it!
I attended Maria's online class for Copperplate, 4 sessions of 2 hours each during Feb 2021. Due time difference I was unable to follow the sessions live so I watched the recording later. I loved the small sessions each week because it gives me time to practice between them and doing questions after practicing. I get my doubts after class when I do the practice and I was very pleased that she replied to all of them during class with examples, which helps me to have a visual idea about how to solve issues. Having classes recorded helped me to watch, stop, practice and continue. And many times I repeat what I didn't get really well, so the recordings were perfect for me. I know for you as a teacher not having the immediate feedback could be challenging. Maria's learning path is clear and have the right speed, not too slow, not too fast. She is encouraging students to send homework and she gives feedback which is great to see what a trained eye can see of your work.
Attended Maria Montes' first Calligraphy retreat and had high expectations given Maria's talent but was blown away. Incredible teaching and so much knowledge shared, great location, wonderful people, food to die for and just the perfect environment - a big thank you from me. Well done Maria.

The classes were the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning! It was a relaxing atmosphere and Maria made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. I had no experience at all but that didn't matter because Maria went through each step slowly and was happy to give one on one help. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to try something different!
I enjoyed my 3days 3 nights retreat with Maria and also the group of people I met, the classes are very informative, hands on and also professional, Maria gave each of us time for one on one coaching and also ideas on our final piece. The place is great, food is wonderful and also daily yoga to energise me throughout the day. It was a great experience and i will definitely want to join again :)

Maria devotes a huge amout of care, effort and love into her workshops. She is very generous in her teachings. You will feel inspired and learn a lot.Thank you for the inspiration and knowledge, Maria!
