1. What supplies do you use?
My DM’s are filled with messages regarding the tools and supplies that are used for calligraphy.
Investing in good tools and supplies is absolutely essential for a good learning experience.
Here’s a list of all of my favorite tools and supplies be it inks, nibs, tech essentials, or accessories - I’ve got you covered.
2. How should I price my work?
“How do I price my work?”, “Am I charging too little?”, “Are my prices so expensive that I may not get clients at this rate?’ “ I provided a quote to a potential client, but she ghosted me”
Do you resonate with these thoughts and questions? I get you, my friend.
I have finally found my PRICING FORMULA. And I’m sharing it with you because I wish I had these resources when I was starting out.
3. I want to learn calligraphy, how can I start?
Over the years of building a creative business around calligraphy, I’ve also had thousands of students who’ve shown interest in learning this art form with us.
We’re soon launching an online course on copperplate calligraphy, it’s an in-depth course for beginners as well as seasoned calligraphers to learn and refine this script.
But another free resource is the calligraphy section of our blog - we have elaborate blogs on various topics, be it tools and supplies, common mistakes or helpful tips and tricks.
There are a lot of great resources available online, an example would be Joe Vitolo's handout on copperplate calligraphy.
