I started to learn calligraphy when I was 7-years-old; years of practicing endowed me with tranquility and calmness.
You didn't learn "from" 7-years-old, you learned "when" you were at 7-years-old. Also, "7-years-old" needs to be hyphenated. Since you have two independent clauses, you should separate them with a semicolon, not a comma. You also want to make your tenses match up.

Are there any mistakes in this sentence?
Yes...I started to learn calligraphy at the age of 7, now years of practice endows me with calmness and tranquility.

Yes, the misplaced comma. I would rephrase it as "I've been learning calligraphy since I was 7. Years of practicing endows me with tranquillity and calmness."

Instead of started, use began, and after the seven years old, you need to put a conjunction in. And it would be better and more proper to spell the seven out, but at the end of a sentance it's acceptable.
ex: I began to learn calligraphy from seve years old, AND years of practicing endows me with tranquility and calmness.

It could be said this way: "I began learning calligraphy at the age of seven. The years of practicing it have endowed me with tranquility and calmness."
Or: "I began practicing calligraphy when I was seven years old, discovering that it endows me with tranquility and calm."

Maybe you should reword the sentence like: "At seven years of age, I started to advance in caligraphy, practicing endows me with tranquility and calmness."

You probably have two sentences. End the fist one at the comma. Capitalize years. Put a period at the end of both.

use a semicolon instead of a comma and it will be grammaticaly correct.
