Past Student Reviews

"Billy Ola was a phenomenal teacher. I enjoyed the hand lettering class very much. He provided enough info and structure for the course but also allowed us to provide input about what we wanted to learn. I would take another class from him in a heartbeat. I learned a lot from him by just watching him write and learning his methods. And I like how he is particular about his materials and his process. On top of it all he's a really fun, caring, and thoughtful teacher - he hosted a tea party for us on the last day of class. How cool is that? I like how he exudes hand lettering as not just a skill but as a lifestyle"
