Change

To quote Albert Einstein: ‘The only constant in the universe is change.’ In my private life, I’ve been busier, and a lot has happened in my professional life too. Calligraphy was – and is – one of my great passions. I’ve tried to turn it into a source of additional income. That has worked out better at times, less well at others. The joy of beautiful writing is still very much there. My new slogan, “calligraphy & company”, also reflects this. On the one hand, my repertoire has long since expanded beyond just cards. On the other hand, the rhythm of this short rhyme is intended to reflect the melody and the beat – in other words, the music – that arises whilst writing.

Nevertheless, towards the end of last year, I decided to take up an exceptional opportunity for a fantastic job, which meant returning to full-time employment. My new role also demands a hundred percent attention. In this role, I express my creativity differently – more with my mind, strategically, tactically and through words. My creative work with letters, lines and brushstrokes has shifted to the weekends.

But don’t worry: I still indulge my passion for calligraphy, because it does me good; it puts me down to earth and brings me peace. And being able to share my enthusiasm for letters with others also gives me great joy! This means I will continue to organise courses and I plan to put my ideas for advanced courses into practice. I am still happy to accept commissions from those who can allow a slightly longer timeframe for completion. To ensure quality, I simply need a little more time. Thank you all for your understanding and support. Please feel free to contact me directly by email at info@kalligraphina.ch or via the contact form.

With warm greetings – Martina
