Just in time for the holidays, come to this Play Day to learn a variety of techniques to decorate names. 

These simple techniques can enhance  envelopes, gift tags, place cards, ornaments, bookmarks, and other handmade gifts. 

Add a touch of flair! Karen Nordstrom Roberts will demonstrate swash capitals and show you how to add flourishes using the "fish tail" stroke.

You can decorate any style of calligraphy you enjoy: Roman capitals, Italic, Uncial, Neuland, Copperplate, or Blackletter.

Free event but please RSVP.  A supply list will be provided upon registration.


Special Activities

- Refreshments and a free raffle for some calligraphy-related gifts.

- We'll be having a special tribute to honor one of our long-time members who just celebrated 90 years.  Shhhhh, it's a surprise!
