How To Master The Business of Calligraphy

"How do people actually generate a living as a calligrapher? I thought it was all $3 place cards and making a few dollars for painstakingly writing envelopes…”

If you've ever thought that, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing excerpts from 3 different speaker presentations from my “Art & Business of Modern Calligraphy Summit”:

  • (2:38) Shaochen of Monstera Gold shares how to turn a $100 order into a $1000 order (product-based vs. service-based calligraphy)

  • (8:27) Rosie of WanderCrafter shares how she changed her side hobby calligraphy business into a full-time income not through talent, but rather clarity, trust  and visibility

  • (14:13) Kristin of Kreative Blends shares how your calligraphy doesn’t make you a great calligrapher - it's your confidence and what kind of experience you’re delivering to the client

  • (20:25) Sneak peeks of some of the other business presentation topics in the Summit

  • (22:50) How to get INSTANT & LIFETIME ACCESS to over 20 presentations right now!!

These are just excerpts of 3 presentations — and all of the presentations run 20-30 minutes (so there's a lot more where this came from)! SO MUCH is covered - legal, finances, stationery, how to teach workshops, and for beginners, exactly how to make your first $1,000 (with email templates included).

Whether you are a seasoned calligrapher with years of experience, or have never held a calligraphy pen in your life, there is something for everyone in this Summit - and I can’t wait to share all these AMAZING teachers and presentations with you July 7-9, 2026!

ABOUT CROOKED CALLIGRAPHY

Hey - I'm Shinah! A former miserable corporate lawyer turned sassy calligrapher and teacher. Ten years ago, I was WISHING I could create beautiful calligraphy but feeling really un-creative and LOST about how to achieve that... and now I truly believe that ANYONE can learn this beautiful craft - because I've already taught it to THOUSANDS of people, from all different backgrounds.

Calligraphy has given me a gorgeous life. It's helped my students find PASSION, PURPOSE, and a reason to JUMP OUT OF BED each morning. What could it do for you? =)
