This short video is the first in our new Skillshare Talks series that shares footage from live conversations with our teacher community.

Join the Skillshare team at our NYC headquarters with Peggy Dean - a self-taught calligrapher, artist, and creative entrepreneur. In March 2018, members of our local community came together to hear Peggy's journey from teaching herself calligraphy to launching her own creative business. She speaks candidly about challenges she's faced along the way and offers strategies for overcoming hurdles to following your passion.
