Event Details
Write a letter to your own personal dragons using calligraphy. This is a hands-on introduction to broad-edge calligraphy. We'll be given inspiration, handouts, and practice in this 90-minute program.
Come learn Blackletter Calligraphy which is also known as the Gothic style! It is a classic, dramatic, lettering style and a great way to introduce yourself to the broad edge nib. Calligrapher, Debby Reelitz, will teach you the basics, provide you with guidelines and lettering samples you can trace, and guide you through a project.
Debby Reelitz is a calligrapher in North Granby, Connecticut. Introduced to calligraphy by her 5th grade teacher, she dabbled for years until opening her own calligraphy studio in Chicago before moving to northern Connecticut. For more than 25 years, she has been a professional lettering artist, creating awards, gifts, commissions, chalkboards, writing on walls, engraving, teaching and much more.
