Spend your Valentine’s Day creating a gift for yourself or a special someone. This two-hour workshop is perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to explore the timeless art of calligraphy. Esther N, founder of Maker’s Favourite Designs, will teach you the history of calligraphy, basic strokes and techniques, letter formation, and how to bring letters together into beautiful words using a brush pen. Examples of calligraphy from our collections, including love letters, marriage certificates, and more, will also be on display.
Join us on the second floor of American Ancestors at the Brue Family Learning Center and receive hands-on practice with guided instruction, plenty of encouragement, and all the tools you need. By the end, you’ll have a beautiful hand-lettered Valentine’s card or love note. Fall in love with the art of calligraphy!
