If you're an artist or lettering lover feeling isolated or unsure of how to grow your creative practice, today's episode of the Open Studio Podcast is one you can’t miss.

I sat down with Becca Courtice, modern calligrapher, instructor, and founder of the global event Workshop Week, to talk about the power of creative community. Becca has built one of the most engaged and supportive audiences in the art world—and in this conversation, she breaks down exactly how she did it.

Whether you're just starting your journey with calligraphy and lettering, or you're ready to build a brand and audience around your skills, this episode is packed with inspiration, laughs, and practical advice.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Becca transitioned from beginner to full-time calligraphy educator
• The story behind Workshop Week (including early failures and how it grew!)
• The mindset shift from competition to community
• Tips for growing a loyal creative following
• The behind-the-scenes of building online events for artists
• Why being visible matters—and how to do it in a way that feels good

This is an honest and encouraging look at what it really takes to grow a creative career—and why you don’t have to do it alone.
