Calligraphy as an Art Form: Appreciation and Evaluation

by Alicia du Bois June 18, 2021 13 Comments


Even if you’re currently thinking “I don’t know anything about calligraphy!”, I hope you’ll continue reading.

My goal is to bring more awareness to the level of detail and dedication calligraphers put into their work, describe what makes calligraphy beautiful, and teach people how to improve their own calligraphy.

A Scribe’s Journey

by Nykera D'Argento June 7, 2021 14 Comments

We all begin somewhere, for many of us in the scribal arts we dream of creating grand pieces. It can be intimidating to transition from painter to designer. Branching out can be intimidating but ultimately fun! This is one Scribes journey thus far and the lessons learned with each piece that has been created.
