Jane Adriano, owner of Ink Scripture, shares her story on pursuing calligraphy as a business during the pandemic. Laid off from corporate work, she narrates how she turned her passion for art into source of livelihood and fulfillment. | cgonzalesINQ

MANILA, Philippines—Jane Adriano sits at her desk, picks an oblique nib holder and dips the nib into black ink. She pauses, takes a deep breath and lets ink come into contact with cream-colored paper, writing calligraphy. She stares at her finished work then feels a sense of fulfillment after meditating on what she just wrote.

“Bata pa lang ako, mahilig na ako sa arts. People say na may talent ako sa lettering, although lettering is different from calligraphy. So art-inclined na talaga ako bata pa lang,” she said in an interview with INQUIRER.net. “After that, nasundan din ‘yung workshops, and I was so happy kasi ‘yung mga ginagawa mo nagbibigay siya ng income, at the same time, nagagawa mo talaga ‘yung passion mo,” she said.Writing in calligraphy has taught Adriano a bunch of things, from learning how to focus to practicing patience.

“Dahil slow writing siya, mas nababasa mo ‘yung words, mas napapaulit-ulit mo siya sa utak mo hanggang sa namemeditate mo na siya, pumapasok na siya sayo, na-e-encourage ka niya,” she said.Just a year after Adriano attended a calligraphy workshop for the first time, Ink Scripture was born, although it did not originally kick off as a business.

In the first stages of accepting commissions for works while maintaining her full-time job, she sold her products only to reimburse the cost of materials she used.
