Beginning Calligraphy Workshop for Adults

Calligraphy is the art of beautiful writing. Taught by Lucinda Hickey, this workshop will provide you with the skills a beginner needs to master calligraphy. You will learn the alphabet in Italic font, proper spacing for writing text, and get a primer on the history of calligraphy, as well as fonts more difficult than Italics. This class will be built around a Speedball 3.5 chisel point marker, but you will have an opportunity to try your hand at a fountain pen on the final day. The museum provides all supplies including two calligraphy markers to take home. The workshop will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 pm on April 10th through 12th. It will cost $35 for members and $50 for non-members.
