My name is Benson Coleman and I've been doing calligraphy for almost two years now.
I stumbled upon calligraphy almost accidentally one day while at my then finance's (now wife) place. She was busy with graduate school work and I was bored so I picked up a 'how to' calligraphy book she bought because she wanted to address our wedding invitations and started trying some of its lessons. Fast forward two whole hours and I realized I had just had fun!
I haven't been able to stop since and calligraphy is quickly moving from a hobby to a passion for me. I decided to join the Flourish Forum because, living in a small town in Oklahoma, I don't have many opportunities to meet people who share my passion and can "talk shop" with and there's only so much I can learn on my own.
Thank you so letting my join such a wonderful community and I'm looking forward to joining in on the conversation!
