Calligraphy

Calligraphy has been the most grounding, therapeutic and gratifying skill I have taught myself to do. Handwriting is sadly becoming a thing of the past and I want to remind everyone of the beauty in writing.

**Fun fact: Studies have shown that when you write something down, it activates the parts of your brain associated with your memory. However, this isn’t the case when typing information down.**
