Our first Calligraphy Circle will be held at our April 25/2018 meeting. Please join our CIRCLE of sharing, learning, helping and practicing calligraphy skills and techniques.
How Do You Do This?
Bring: A project of some sort to work on or not – your choice.
Questions: Be prepared to ask questions on how to do something that may not be working for you. Or ask someone who is working on a project “How do you do that?” “What tool are you using?”
Advice: Would you like some advice on how to fix your layout or choice of lettering,
ink, colour, etc?
Demo and Hands On Table
There will be some graphite and sumi ink supplies to try out. Do you have a new tool or supply you would like to share? Perhaps, you have something you bought ages ago and don’t really know how to use. Maybe somebody can give you some advice.

Violet Smythe, one of our talented members will be teaching a one-day class on Ben Shahn letters for us in May. Registration is now open. More details on the Seminars page.

There is still room and time to register for our exciting one day conference: WESTCOAST ODYSSEY OF LETTERS – WOOL.

Join us as we look at the ordinary pencil. This is a wonderful tool for lettering. The number of techniques that graphite can be used for is large. We will be looking at two techniques.

It’s the start of a new calendar year,. It’s time to spend learning a new skill, enjoying your hobby, meeting new people or….Why not making getting more involved with Westcoast Calligraphy Society one of your resolutions. On January 24, Sherry Springall will lead us through a hands on program where we will learn how to make 3D letters. You don’t need to have a calligraphy background to learn to make these very effective letters and they can be combined with other calligraphic hands to make stunning pieces.
