To celebrate the exhibit “Letter Love” in our Art Lab, this class will provide the opportunity to learn from the artist herself! Explore and learn basic techniques of calligraphy by looking at a brief history of calligraphy and learn the skills of holding the pen, making strokes, and writing out words and phrases with your newfound skills. Let’s learn the art of writing beautifully! No prior experience necessary!
