The Stories,
Skills & Soul
of Calligraphy.
A weekly podcast and new magazine celebrating the art, the artists, and the life of beautiful letters.
Every week, host Jill Burk sits down with calligraphers, educators, historians, tool makers, and creative thinkers to explore what it means to dedicate a life to the written word.
Conversations that go deeper.
Each episode of the Calligraphy Chronicles podcast explores not only how lettering is created — but why it matters. We talk tools, technique, history, identity, and the life built around a love of beautiful letters.
New episodes every week on YouTube, with full conversations that go well beyond the surface.
