Homepage of the Washington Calligraphers Guild, which promotes lettering arts in the Washington, DC area
Description
The Washington Calligraphers Guild is a thriving organization of close to 500 letter lovers of all skill levels, from professional scribes to enthusiastic beginners and even some non-calligraphers who appreciate the lettering and book arts. Founded in 1976 by internationally known calligrapher Sheila Waters and a group of her associates, the Guild is a nonprofit organization that promotes all aspects of the lettering arts and related crafts. Today we are recognized as one of the most active groups in the world, as evidenced by our international membership roster. Membership is open to anyone regardless of calligraphic ability.
The annually elected Board of Directors is responsible for developing and carrying out Guild policies as well as leading the committees of volunteers that prepare Guild activities. Many board members are relatively new to calligraphy, but devoted in their interest.
Monthly meetings offer the fellowship of calligraphic colleagues. Each meeting features a visiting, well-respected lettering artist or a local expert who shares information, slides and demonstrations on topics related to lettering and book arts.
