A course by Chiara Bacchini
Chiara Bacchini is an Italian calligraphy artist who grew up in a family of craftsmen and women: her aunts were dressmakers, her uncle was a carpenter, and her grandmothers were experts in embroidery and crochet. As a result, she spent her childhood immersed in a creative atmosphere. She began studying calligraphy in 2009 and went on to pioneer a movement in Italy when she started posting her work on Instagram and creating a buzz.
Riding on this success, she started teaching courses as well as producing and selling stamps with her designs. In 2014, she decided to take the leap and transformed her passion into a full-time job by opening her own online stationery store.
