    It’s a pretty obsolete hobby, as we have computers and printers that can do the exact same thing in a fraction of the time. I know people do it as an art form, which is fine I guess, though you’re not gonna sell prints, get published, or end up in a museum no matter how good you are at it.

      You do hobbies for fun, not making money, that’s a job.

      Hobbies don’t become obsolete dummy

        But obsolete jobs do become hobbies.

      Someone is definitely making a buck with all those calligraphy books and supplies.

      Do you measure all your hobbies with possibility of making money? I mean, that is not a hobby, that’s work then.

      Same reason I don’t exercise: I’m never going to make money with my running skills.

      The money in calligraphy is usually made on wedding invitations, diplomas, “fine fining” menus, and corporate award certificates
