Here’s What I’m Working On – Now I Need Some Help!
This is exciting! If you have a collection of calligraphic items that you collect, bring them in so we can all see them. Tables will be set up for your display of any vintage treasures as they relate to calligraphy. Some suggestions: Nibs, nib holders, pens, ink wells, ink bottles, handwritten pages/envelopes, postcards, greeting cards, blotters, advertising blotter papers, lap desks, advertisements, correspondence chests, items that you find interesting and/or curious, instruction books, journals, diaries. Also, if you have anything in the works that you are stuck on, bring it in and you can get a multitude of help and ideas!
See our Meetings page (or the back page of the latest Newsletter) for more upcoming meetings.
