Why I created a Calligraphy Advent Calendar
The truth is, it was inspired by another Advent Calendar I had purchased for my daughter who loves to paint. Everyday, instead of opening a toy, it became an invitation to create and paint slowly with her. I thought, why not calligraphy? Especially in the holiday season, everybody gets so busy and it can feel so overwhelming. Calligraphy invites us to be more intentional and to slow down. That's why we created the Brush Calligraphy Advent Calendar - something easy enough to learn on your own or by watching the videos, filled with traceable worksheets, asking for about 15-20 minutes of your time, which is perfect for a creative reset. After creating Volume 1, we decided Volume 2 would be an extension of it, so it's not just learning letters, but creating for a theme, so that you can create some projects related to it.
Personalized โ๏ธ
Advent Calendars ordered by October 31st will be personalized with a name written in calligraphy, by yours truly ;) Outside of that timeframe, only the Advent Calendars shipping out of Canada (which will go to Canada/int'l orders), will be personalized.
Can anyone do it?
The Brush Calligraphy Advent Calendars are rated 6 and up, so that means it's great for beginners and anyone who wants to grow their brush calligraphy skills. And yes, it's great for both lefties and righties!
