Workshops
WCG also encourages calligraphic study by offering scholarships.
We’d love to hear your workshop suggestions and welcome volunteers to the workshops committee. Contact caroline.knickerbocker@gmail.com.
Multiple DatesSat, Jan 25via ZoomJan 25, 2025, 9:00 AM – Jan 26, 2025, 1:30 PMvia ZoomOver two weekends each participant will produce a book housing an alphabet of your own creation. Each participant will then either design a cohesive alphabet OR create a different style for each letter. Finally, we’ll assemble an elegantly designed accordion-fold book with an origami-type cover.
Upcoming Programs
Programs are free for WCG members; non-members can attend for free or a small fee. The Zoom link will be emailed several days before the event.
Programs begin at 7:30 pm ET but attendees are invited to log on at 7 pm for conversation and, if needed, assistance with technical issues.
All WCG members as well as registered nonmembers will receive a link to view a recording of that program for 30 days. We ask that you not share the link for live or recorded programs on social media or other outlets; they are the property of the Washington Calligraphers Guild.
