About the Washington Calligraphers Guild
The Washington Calligraphers Guild (WCG) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational organization dedicated to helping enthusiasts of all skill levels improve their calligraphy and develop their artistry. Founded in 1976 by acclaimed calligrapher Sheila Waters alongside her colleagues and students, our mission is to increase public awareness and appreciation of calligraphy and the related arts.
and enjoy the friendships that develop as you enhance your calligraphy alongside creative people who share your interests. Membership is open to calligraphers of all skill levels, from professional scribes to enthusiastic beginners, and to anyone who appreciates the lettering arts. WCG welcomes new members year-round.
Among the many resources we provide are workshops and monthly programs to expand skills, classes taught by WCG members, scholarships for continued study, links of interest, free listings for freelancers and our quarterly Bulletin packed with calligraphic art and reviews. Our 50th Anniversary Exhibition, Calligraphic Journeys, invites calligraphers to exhibit their finest work.
An all-volunteer organization, the Guild has a proud history of members who give back as officers or on committees. We are recognized as one of the most active groups in the world, as evidenced by our international membership roster, acclaimed journal Scripsit, hosting three International Letterforum Calligraphy Conferences and administering the Graceful Envelope Contest, now in its 31st year.
