Workshop Software, Supplies, and Tools

This page contains some affiliate links for your convenience (which means if you make a purchase after clicking a link I will earn a small commission but it won’t cost you a penny more)! Read my full disclosure policy.

For this workshop, I will teach you how to use three sets of software:

• Calligraphr (Free or Pro)
• Procreate
• Silhouette Studio Business Edition
  

Note: You don't need all the software listed above — you can create a font with just one, which is explained in the workshop.

Design Tools

• Printer (for the Calligraphr and Silhouette Studio options)
• White copy paper (for the Calligraphr and Silhouette Studio options)
• Black pen or marker (for the Calligraphr and Silhouette Studio options)
• Apple iPad running iPad OS 15.4.1 or later (for Procreate option - see system requirements)
• Apple Pencil first or second generation (for Procreate option — optional) - note that generic versions of the Pencil will be missing the pressure sensitivity, so only a true Apple Pencil is recommended

Bonus Fonts, Files & Designs

You are free to use the handwriting fonts Jennifer made from the same tools available to you in this workshop — they're fun and cute!

• JM Sweet
• JM Cursive
• JM Handwriting
• JM Groovy
• JM Lemonade (includes a Calligraphr template and Procreate Brush File so you can make your own version!)
• Procreate Brushes (two different brushes for beautiful fonts)
• Handwriting Practice Templates (six different Calligraphr templates with letters to guide you in making beautiful fonts)
  
• Workshop Designs - design elements we used for our projects pictured below:

Projects

I will show you how to use your font to make three projects — a sublimation potholder, an Infusible Ink mug, and an iron-on vinyl pillow.

While these projects are not the primary focus of this workshop, I know some of you might like to know how I made them and what supplies I used. So I will demonstrate how to make them and provide a supply list:
