Please join us for a day of calligraphic fun.

Online lessons have been amazing but maybe you are wondering: what did they mean by “interlinear” spacing and “x-height”. 

Sometimes we just want to do lettering with other people, real time. Are you looking for a deeper dive into a particular lettering style, maybe some informal coaching about layout and design? Hands-on and in-person! Come for an hour or come for a whole day of lettering with your own basic kit and other calligraphy enthusiasts.

Drop-In Calligraphy Day will be one-size-fits-all: beginner to experienced calligraphers. Examine your WORK IN PROGRESS with those in attendance, brain storm ideas, and learn valuable tips from others’ experiences. Check out what products others are using. The Library is usually open. Enjoy some dedicated time with your problematic pen or other tools, your love of letters, and other calligraphy enthusiasts.
