Our Next Program:
Holiday
Card Making and Silent Auction
Monday, November 8th
7:00pm
Holiday cards can be as rewarding an experience
for the creator as for the recipient. At our next meeting, expand
your creative horizons with techniques and inspiration from some of
our guild's most inventive card designers. Learn the methods and try
them out at the meeting!
And during the meeting, we'll be conducting
a silent auction for prints and original works from some of
the world's best-known calligraphers. These pieces are by generous bequest
of the estate of Lucille Overall and proceeds will go to help the
guild. So not only will you find unmatched pricing on these great
works, but you'll help yourself in the process.
As always, refreshments are available and we
encourage you to peruse our terrific library during the social time.
As always, we are hosted at the beautiful Trinity United Methodist
Church. We look forward to seeing you!

FROM FRANCE!
Two-Day Roundhand
with Marie Perrier-Penloup
Marie is a fine calligrapher from
Paris, who put together her own curriculum (In France very few
people teach, even if they are excellent in their craft, as it is a
carefully guarded art). Marie is the exception. Her work is pure
precession. She has added a fluency to Roundhand that is decorative
and charming.
Provided we have a minimum of 16 participants
she will teach a two day workshop
February 28 & 27,
2005
Cost $ 85.-, due with sign-up by January 15th, since we need
at least three weeks advance to book her flight.
