3 - Handwriting and the Art of Calligraphy - a podcast by Fountain Pens Oceania
from 2017-10-10T10:53:15
Tav talks to two calligraphers, Ruben and Ahmad, about their art (yes art!), while the roundtable discusses the difference between calligraphy and handwriting, and how using fountain pens has affected the way they write.
We apologise for the audio quality this episode. Sydney is in the midst of a flu epidemic and it was quite a trial getting everyone able-bodied and in the same location for recording. Hopefully the discussion will make up for it. :)
