Calligraphy is so much more than just beautiful writing on a greeting card. There are forms and flourishes and colour and ornament to explore, opening new doors into this fascinating and constantly evolving world of lettering arts. In my classes, I encourage calligraphers to be happy and playful as they create - that joyful act will leave a hidden magic in your art, in your letters made from love.
I hope that this guide will inspire you to try new calligraphy tools without a fear of failure, regardless of your level of experience. Let your tools teach you - not the other way around.
Make "mistakes"! Accidental discoveries can lead to the perfect idea for your project. Make splashes with your inks and colours. Don't be afraid to make a mess! Grab your tool and find your style, your own way to do art. Best wishes from The Happy Calligrapher, Marika Koskimäki-Ketelä.
