6. Forging Unique Paths to Full-Time: Stories from Calligraphers Who Have Done It

03/19/24 • 65 min

In our first-ever guest interview episode, we're highlighting the unique journeys of three successful calligraphers as they transformed their calligraphy hobbies or side hustles into full-time businesses! We chat with Hannah of Tally Mark Calligraphy, Dani of Paper Cliché, and Alice of Penned by Alice about what prompted them to take their businesses full-time, the challenges they faced, and their advice for anyone considering making calligraphy their sole source of income.
From Hannah's transition from an athletic trainer to a wedding and live-event calligrapher, to Dani's shift from bartending to running an intentional stationery business, and Alice's move from a finance career to balancing calligraphy with motherhood, these stories emphasize the importance of passion, community support, strategic planning, and showcase how different each of our journeys are.
We hope this episode encourages you to take things one step at a time, focus on your specific goals, and trust the process to achieve your dreams!
