"Calligraphy is the most relaxing hobby I’ve ever had." - Linda Thank you to this month's sponsor: Paper & Ink Arts Spotlight on Paper & Ink ArtsImagine walking into a store that has everything you could need for calligraphy. High quality inks, pens, books, paper... This calligrapher's dream does exist, and it's called Paper & Ink Arts! When Jillian decided to learn calligraphy for her wedding back in 2015, she took a class with Molly at Paper & Ink Arts. In a full-circle moment, we even hosted one of our own workshops there in 2017! (pictured below) We've since purchased many supplies from them and are always impressed. The great news? If you're not local to Nashville, they have a fantastic online store at paperinkarts.com We've invited them to share a little bit about themselves below and encourage you to check them out!
