Calligraphy That Inspired a Nation: Learn to Write like America’s Founders

Thursday, March 12 at 6:00-7:30 pm

Who was the calligrapher who 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 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.
