- This show is PERFECT for calligraphy newbies!!!
Okay, I’m totally new-ish to Calligraphy! So naturally, I binge listened to this whole podcast!
This podcast has all the gems to get started with calligraphy. And, after listening, I feel like a have good feet under me to get going! I am proud to say that I now KNOW without a doubt that Calligraphy is going to be the art I want to master moving forward- I was on the fence and now I’m certain. I started with Business Penmanship but will be moving to Engravers or spencerian next. Oh, and I will ... more

United States2 years ago - Truly a Delight!
I adore this podcast! As I’m a beginner trying to figure things out, these two lovely ladies make me feel like I have two new calligra-friends with me on this journey. They are encouraging, funny, and interview some wonderful guests. I treat an episode like an audio calligraphy warmup before I start some oval drills. Love it!
Apple Podcasts5Awoz2United States2 years ago - Pleasant and inspiring show!
I found calligraphy the first time in the late 80’s when I was about 12-13 years old (yes I was rather alone with that hobby among my friends…). Life came in between, for some decades…, but now I am taking up the practice again. This show definitely adds to my motivation and inspiration. 😊❤️

So informative
Apple Podcasts5RebbRomUnited States3 years ago - Thank you!!
I am late to this podcast but have been binging since I found it in December 2022. I only have a few episodes left before the end. I hope there are plans to bring back the podcast!! This is a wonderful podcast full of information, inspiration and entertainment! Thank you Christen and Ajab for sharing your experience and expertise!
Apple Podcasts5Cortni HensleyUnited States3 years ago - Wonderful!
Thank you! I started calligraphy two years ago and felt lost in the beginning because I could not find anyone local. Kind of like being a bee without a hive until I found this and it has helped answer many questions for me as I grow in calligraphy. Keep inspiring!
Apple Podcasts5K-KünstlerUnited States4 years ago - Love it!!
Ideas, comradererie, laughs, encouragement, great interviews and practical knowledge and tips, it’s all here!! I love listening to Christen and Ajab on this podcast. Any questions I’ve ever had about calligraphy, inks, different hands, and all the humor highlighting the things that can (and will) eventually go wrong! I made sure to mention. This podcast with every envelope exchange I send!
Apple Podcasts5debh14United States5 years ago - Belly laugh on the birds
I can’t say enough how this podcast brings me so much joy. Love talking about the birds from M. Sull class as my birds are lop sided, crooked and unable to perch anywhere. But seriously, thanks for talking to the Who’s who of the Calligraphy world and bring them their stories. These masters have learned it from someone and pay it forward to the next. By the third season, these ladies keep getting even better, more confident, and a joy to listen.
Apple Podcasts5KnitcrafterUnited States5 years ago - My favourite podcast during my calligraphy practice
I adore the Calligraphy Podcast, it’s my go-to listen during my calligraphy practice and I was so happy when season 3 started.
I would recommend it to all beginners and also to more advanced. Even though I started my calligraphy journey back in late 2016, I ALWAYS learn something new during every episode. Make sure to prepare a notepad and pen to take lots of notes. Love the topics, the guests and love you both Christen and Ajab. Keep up the good work and looking forward for more episodes. Love,... more

Apple Podcasts5rondikkkUnited States5 years ago - Inspirerande om kalligrafi
Trevligt samtal, engagerade samtalspartners. Ett impulsköp av kalligrafiutrustning och google ledde mig till dem och de har varit trevliga att lyssna på.
Apple Podcasts5Claes WSweden6 years ago - Love the podcast
You ladies are doing an awesome job. I especially liked your interview with Sarah Richardson. The topic of cursing was brought up on the episode and a couple of things had to be beeped out. While you have the freedom to use whatever words you choose always remember that cursing is to speech what ink blobs are to calligraphy.
Apple Podcasts5Vintage Grandma 56United States6 years ago - The best calligraphy podcast
I love these two gals so much, they have fantastic rapport with themselves and also their guests. They are so knowledgeable and each podcast has me giggling away at their jokes. A fantastic positive attitude to everything they work on, I always look forward to a new episode ✨
Apple Podcasts5WildSeaCalligraphyUnited Kingdom6 years ago - Finally people who get me!
I cannot even begin to describe how much I love this podcast! I am completely binging on it. While most of my fellow gym goers are rocking out to their favorite music, I am pounding the treadmill listening to this podcast. Calligraphy really does envelop your life! Thank you so much Ajab and Christen, please never stop!

It was hard for me to imagine that a podcast about such a visual art could be good, but these ladies are killing it! I am a calligrapher with 10+ years of experience and I learn something new with each episode. I’m so glad the Calligraphy Podcast connects me with others who share the love for this art.
