Illuminations: The Art of Calligraphy

Highlights from the Exhibit and Special Collections

Drop in for a look at treasures from the library’s rare book collection. This month features Karyn Jeffrey, author and illustrator of "Life in Letters", and member of the Spokane Calligraphy Guild.

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!). 
 
This Illuminations event features author and illustrator, Karyn Jeffrey, and her book, Life in Letters, as well as items from the library’s rare book collection. Get a close-up look at these items and hear from Karyn about the journey of making and lettering a handmade book. After the presentation, members of the Guild will be on hand to calligraph names and answer questions about the Guild and the exhibit. 

Arrive on time, at 11:00 am, to hear Karyn Jeffrey's presentation and then stay to browse the materials and exhibit!
