Calendar of Events
Our monthly guild meetings are open to all who have an interest in learning, sharing or teaching calligraphy or any of its related arts. We start with a very short business meeting followed by a program. The monthly program topic is posted in the calendar below. A few days before each meeting, we post a supply list to bring for the month's program. If you don't have a particular item, we often have extras to share.
