THE ENCHANTED LETTER with

HEATHER HELD

Enchanted Letters are rooted in Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, but have a distinct Victorian flair.  These flourished script letters are embellished with florals and foliate accents and can be combined with calligraphic script lettering. The designs are based on my work in offhand flourishing, floral design and Victorian needlework. I hope you become Enchanted with these graceful letters.

ADVENTURES WITH THE FOLDED PEN – HOW DOES SHE DO THAT

with VIOLET SMYTHE

In February we had an introduction to the folded pen with Kerri Forster. Violet has a large selection of folded pens and she has done much experimenting and playing with them. At the September meeting, come and see them in person and see the many varied markings they can create.  Doors open at 7pm, and the meeting starts at 7:30 pm. Since we are still dealing with Covid, and are approaching the “flu” season, our executive has decided to require masks at our in-person meeting.
