SUMMARY:Calligraphy that Inspired a Nation: Learn to Write like America’s Founders
DESCRIPTION:Who was the calligrapher that wrote the Declaration of Independence? How did they write during the American Revolution? What tools did they use? What lettering style? Can I write like they did? We will explore these questions and more in this hands-on 90-minute program with calligrapher Debby Reelitz. Participants will get the opportunity to write in script\, use a dip nib and ink\, and scribe a line from the Declaration of Independence. \nDebby Reelitz is a professional calligrapher in North Granby\, Connecticut. Introduced to calligraphy by her 5th grade teacher\, she dabbled for years until opening her own calligraphy studio in Chicago before moving to northern Connecticut. For more than 25 years\, she has been a professional lettering artist\, creating awards\, gifts\, commissions\, engraving\, chalkboards\, writing on walls\, teaching and much more. \nThis workshop will be structured for the beginner\, but all levels of expertise are encouraged to register! Suitable for ages 16 and up. \nTICKETS \n$20 General Admission\n$15 Members\nFree for Members 150+\nCost covers all materials. \nGET TICKETS\nThis program is generously supported by the Auerbach Schiro Foundation.
