As the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on 2024 and share what’s on the horizon for early 2025.
This year has been an exciting and creative journey for Lovely Letters:
throughout the spring: Monthly in-person workshops brought calligraphy lovers together to explore the basics and beyond. Participants also applied their new skills in creative projects, writing on household items like plant pots, mirrors, and storage boxes—perfect for personal use or heartfelt gifts. Also, I was invited to give my very first workshop presentation at the Seoul KOTESOL Chapter Spring Symposium; this experience prompted me to secure future dates which led to my busy but fulfilling autumn season.
over the summer: I enjoyed following tutorials from other artists to explore using art and calligraphy just for fun. Taking time to craft handmade gifts for friends is always such a pleasant experience. I love taking lessons from others, as they give me tips about new techniques faster than I could figure them out on my own.
from late August: I introduced monthly taster workshops at KOTESOL events, visiting cities across Korea and connecting with passionate teachers and creatives.
October: Lovely Letters participated in a provincial festival for foreigners, sharing calligraphy with a diverse and curious audience.
December: The holiday season brought back commissioned Letters from Santa and festive Christmas cards. I also painted a few special crafts as gifts for friends and colleagues, adding a personal touch to the festivities.
Looking ahead, I’m thrilled to share some upcoming opportunities to create in 2025:
