ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Sam – an English-speaking calligrapher based in the charming city of Kraków, Poland.

My journey with calligraphy began in 2016. At the time, I was looking for a way to unwind from the "always-on" world of digital marketing. I exchanged keyboards for the tactile, meditative world of traditional calligraphy. It became my creative escape, and now, I share that passion through creative workshops, live calligraphy events, and calligraphy commissions in Kraków.
