"Learning calligraphy is a journey. Don't worry too much if you think that your handwriting is 'terrible' or if you don't like to write in cursive, because calligraphy is approached and written differently. The longer you practice calligraphy, the more your work will progress and grow. The learning curve is different for each student, but I know you can do this. With the proper tools, technique, practice and direction, you will learn to write calligraphy beautifully." -- Introduction, Karla Lim.
