Meetings
Members and guests of Escribiente meet the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm. (No meetings are held in January, July and December, unless noted.)
We feature an informative program for all levels of calligraphy with a mix of presentations and hands on projects. Everyone with an interest in creating beautiful letters is welcome to join!
Calendar
Escribiente now hosts most of our programs online via Zoom. We have two workshops in the Spring and Fall (in person where possible). We also aim to host monthly meetups in person on the third Saturday from 1–3pm (check your email for location). We will miss having all our programs in person, but our members from out-of-town can now enjoy our programming and it is easier to have guest artists too! Members receive email reminders one week beforehand.
Program: Wednesday, September 3, 2025 @ 6:30pm * Online via Zoom
Members are encouraged to log in @ 6:15pm for social time
Drum Leaf Binding: The Seamless Page Spread
Presented by Beth Lee
Our September program will be an overview of Beth Lee's upcoming November workshop. The Drum Leaf book was invented by Timothy Ely and inspired by traditional Japanese book structures. It's perfect for single-sided pages you want to make into a book. It's quick & easy. You won't want to miss this meeting featuring the beauty of Beth’s book creations. Let's get excited for her fun, artistic and practical workshop on November 15 & 16, 2025.
