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, March 4, 2026 @ 6:30pm * Online via Zoom
Members are encouraged to log in @ 6:15pm for social time
Pointed Pen Flourishing
Presentation by Nina Tran
Flourishes are known to bedazzle and bewilder the viewer and, perhaps even more so, the doer! In this presentation, we will demystify the elusive flourish: what it is and how it works.
Nina Tran is a calligrapher based in sunny Los Angeles, California. She was introduced to formal calligraphy in 2015 and has not put the pen down since! Her passion and enthusiasm to learn calligraphy and penmanship is what propels her to teach.
She currently teaches both in-person and online classes in Copperplate, Spencerian, Pointed Pen Flourishing, Gothic Textura & Fraktur, Gothicized Italic, Gothic Cursive, and Monoline Foundational, Italic, and Stunt Roman. Learn more about Nina on her website.
Members receive email notices for all programs and workshops.
Live Zoom meetings are open to members only. The Zoom replay will be available for a limited time to members after the meeting. An edited replay may be posted to our YouTube channel after editing, provided permission is granted from the presenter.
