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.

CALLIGRA-WEAVING with Rose Wong
Join Rose as she leads us through the process to make a woven joint exhibition piece on our Black and White Theme. We’ll be writing out the alphabet on strips of black, white or grey paper, so you need to bring both black and white writing mediums (ink, gel pens, felts). After we are dne, the strips will be woven together to form an exhbition piece to which we all have contributed! The paper strips will be provided.Thanks to posts by a Montreal group on Instagram for the inspiration.

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.
