Calligraphy engravers are in HIGHER demand right now than ever - and you don’t have to have YEARS of experience to get paid for it!

In this episode, I’m breaking down the fastest, simplest path to landing your first paid calligraphy engraving job - even if you’re still a beginner (because people pay for alllll levels of calligraphy - not just master penman status work…).

I’ve seen my students with just a few months of experience book real gigs… and I’m showing you exactly how they did it.

This episode is for beginners learning calligraphy engraving, hand engraving on glass, and how to start a calligraphy business.

Inside this episode, I’m breaking down:
