The Friends of the Seaside Library presents a beginning calligraphy workshop. In the age of electronic communication, one would think that writing by hand is an obsolete affair. Local calligrapher Rebecca Read strongly disagrees. Her students quickly discover the pleasures that accompany hand-lettering. This art form is gaining popularity with crafters and artists alike. Calligraphy’s resurgence is finding its way into greeting cards, posters, and multi-media art. The basic skills of calligraphy are surprisingly simple and the requisite supplies are affordably priced.

This two hour workshop will provide an introduction to the practical applications of calligraphy.  Attendees will also receive a hands-on introduction to Italic lettering.  All materials will be provided and the class will be limited to 20 people.

Register at the circulation desk or by telephone (503) 738-6742.
