Welcome

Welcome to Kalli Camp LIVE! We are excited to bring you a quarantine week full of inspiration, education, and FUN!! This is our first ever live, online calligraphy camp, and we cannot wait to share our love for the arts with you.

What is Kalli Camp LIVE?

KCL is a week-long virtual camp, where classes are presented through the Instagram Live platform. The camp is completely free, and you don’t even have to register to attend. You just show up whenever you want to watch a class. We do encourage you to register, though, because that way we can send you a printable schedule, the handouts that go with each class, and announcements and updates about any changes we have to make to the scheduling.

Where Do I Watch?

Each KCL class will be taught in Instagram Live, directly in the instructor’s own IG account. Interested in a specific class? Be sure you’re following that instructor. In fact, we recommend that you follow all of the instructors, because they are fabulous artists and teachers, and you’ll be sure to be inspired. Follow @kallicamplive for up-to-the-minute updates on what’s happening with the camp, and be sure you turn on notifications for it so you don’t miss a single class during camp!

Who Is Behind KCL?

KCL is an experimental effort brought about by Heather McKelvey of @kallialitheia (beginnercalligraphy.com) in effort to bring a fun-filled week full of happiness and inspiration during a very dark and difficult time of the covid-19 pandemic. The entire world is stuck at home, aside from the essential businesses and wonderful people who keep us supplied with our basic needs and healthcare. Why not spend that time learning something new? Gather the kids and the dog and join us for 24 classes that are sure to entertain. There is something for everyone!

The KCL Team

All 19 of our instructors have volunteered their time and expertise to bring you this live calligraphy camp completely free of charge. Our instructors hail from coast to coast in the US, as well as Canada, Panama, Israel, and Malaysia. We have a Chinese class and a Spanish class, so this is truly an international camp. Heather McKelvey is the organizer and has temporarily shifted her usual focus on making calligraphy worksheets and writing her calligraphy blog to bringing you this event. If you would like to learn more about the work that she does and get access to her free worksheet library, please subscribe to her newsletter here.
