Meetings
Members and guests of Escribiente meet the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm. (No meetings are held in January, July and December, unless noted.)
We feature an informative program for all levels of calligraphy with a mix of presentations and hands on projects. Everyone with an interest in creating beautiful letters is welcome to join!
Calendar
Escribiente now hosts most of our programs online via Zoom. We have two workshops in the Spring and Fall (in person where possible). We also aim to host monthly meetups in person on the third Saturday from 1–3pm (check your email for location). We will miss having all our programs in person, but our members from out-of-town can now enjoy our programming and it is easier to have guest artists too! Members receive email reminders one week beforehand.
Program: Wednesday, November 4, 2026 @ 6:30pm * Online via Zoom
Members are encouraged to log in @ 6:15pm for social time
The Art of the Flourish
Presented by Heather Held
Put a little Sparkle and Frost into your holiday flourishes! These delightful Festive Flourishes are a joy to bring to life with the pointed pen. You will be amazed at the diversity and creativity in these sweet designs that are created with true off-hand flourishing. We will use dark papers and bleed proof white in these intricate winter wonders. Let’s anticipate the beauty of the season together as we flourish these sweet stars and snowflakes.
All skill levels are welcome.
Recommended Supplies
- Your favourite pointed pen and pen holder
- Pencil, ruler, eraser, optional chalk pencil
- Star and Snowflake cookie cutters are helpful, but guides will be provided
- Dark Cardstock in any festive colour
