This is a two part program: Exercises for Calligraphy with Jennifer Isobe and Freestyle Minuscules with Wendy Cowley. We’ll start off with some exercises to warm up our muscles, do some lettering and then more exercises. Join us for this fun meeting.

Join us as we celebrate our move to our new location. We’ll be making a quick book to celebrate! We’ll be using blank paper from one of our old archive albums, so we’ll be using the old in the new! All materials will be supplied.

In addition to the book, we will be talking about the calligaphy toolbox – basics and nice to have and maybe some “why did I need this”. There will be an opportunity for you to try out a few things as well.

It’s our AGM and elections are happening. After the election, the BAKE SALE will happen. Goodies will have been on display, but no picking up or purchasing is allowed before the end of the AGM.

After the bake sale and our coffee break, we will be learning how to do a snowflake with a pointed brush pen.

*Please note the 4th Wednesday is NOT the LAST Wednesday in October*

Join us as Margaret Cottle shares a technique for creating an Art Deco rose.  If you were at the September meeting, you probably admired the ones that several of our members did at Rendez-vous. At the end of the evening, you will be able to create roses in several shapes!

Join us for a Show and Share from Rendez-vous 2019, the International Calligraphy Conference held in July in Sherbrooke, Quebec.

Rose Wong will be presenting on “Bold & Blended – Chunky Capitals and Minuscules in Belgian Bister Inks with Amity Parks.
A 5-day class on learning a broad edged pen version of a chunky Roman alphabet.
This bold hand is a casual and contemporary look, lending itself to colour blending
with powdered watercolour Belgian Bister inks.”

Some other members will have samples of their work on display and be available to answer questions.

Join us as we celebrate more than 40 years of sharing our love of letters. We will also be previewing our Exhibition Through Rose-Coloured Glasses.

We’ll provide the non-alcoholic bubbly and ask that attendees each bering a small plate of finger food to share.

Calligraphy Card Circle

Our Circle will start with demonstrations usingthe document camera for all to see featuring a few different techniques to use with cards or other art pieces.

After the demos stations will be set up so you can choose to try a technique or two – depending on the time. There will also be another station that is self explanatory for  another card technique.

Our Calligraphy Circle is open for asking questions or for guidance from other members on things you need to know.

This should be a fun evening of TECHNIQUES for CARDS, CARDS, CARDS
