NEXT MEETING PROGRAM: FEBRUARY 21, 2026 | 9:30 AM
Design and Composition for Calligraphers
Presenter: Suzan O’C
Please join us in February when we shine a spotlight on composition! The program will cover classic design elements and principles in a way that is tailored for calligraphy. Once we have covered the parts and pieces, you will be given an opportunity to put them into practice by working on a composition of your own.
For some hands-on practice, please bring:
• A simple quote (not more than 8-10 words) or an idea that you would like to turn into a finished piece of calligraphy
• Several sheets of plain white paper, preferably both 11 x 17 and 8-1/2 x 11 size. NOTE: It does not have to be high quality art or watercolor paper.
• 2-3 pages from a magazine with some text on them
• Writing pencil
• Small set of colored pencils
• Scissors
• Glue stick
We’re looking forward to seeing you!
