Drink & Draw: June 2016–Calligraphy

Calligraphy is a centuries-old tradition that continues to thrive today. Contemporary calligraphy includes flourishing invitations, soft and simple cursive, and urban calligraphy that bridges tradition and street art.

Join guest Designer and Calligrapher, Grace Calderone, as she shares her elegant approach to the written word. Experiment with the tools of the trade and try your hand at creating an alphabet with rhythm and regularity. Learn a few tricks that will elevate your penmanship from acceptable to artistic. Spudnik Press will provide plenty of brushes, quill pens, india ink and beer to help each guest harness the power of dazzling penmanship.

Drink and Draw is a low-key drop-in social workshop devoted to drawing practices. There are no pretensions, no prerequisites, and newcomers are always welcome. Bring a sketchbook and basic drawing materials, and invite your friends! Drink & Draw occurs the first Wednesday of every other month and features a special theme and a guest artist. Admission to Drink & Draw is a $10 suggested donation. The event is BYOB, but we do have some wine and beer available with a donation.
