There aren’t many areas in life where imperfections become part of a finished product.
Calligrapher Natasha Lawrence teaches workshops on calligraphy throughout the southeastern United States. Even as an expert at the art genre, Lawrence knows that it’s better to embrace her stylistic hiccups rather than try to perfect them. “I’m not the greatest calligrapher in the world. I’m not, and I’m not sorry about that,” Lawrence said. “My style of calligraphy is my style.”
Students enroll in the workshops for a variety of reasons. Some simply want to learn something new, while another wants to add an extra fancy touch to her holiday greeting cards. Still another wants to save money in her upcoming wedding by making her own invitations with calligraphy.
