Join us for the opening reception of a beautiful exhibit in partnership with the Spokane Calligraphy Guild. Learn about calligraphy and how to get started with this craft. Opening remarks at 1:00 pm.
Spokane Public Library has partnered with the Spokane Calligraphy Guild to put on the exhibit, “Calligraphy: The Art of Beautiful Lettering". Most of the displayed materials are from guild members, with supplemental items from the library’s Inland Northwest Special Collection (beautiful lettering has long been in practice in the art of books!).
During the reception, you can talk with members about calligraphy, learn about tools of the trade, and find out about the Guild. Guild members will be on hand to calligraph your name for free and talk about their practice.
Schedule of events:
1:00pm - Opening remarks
1:30 - 3pm - Browse exhibit and get your name calligraphed by guild members.
