Writers of the Lost Art

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

This past weekend I had the amazing opportunity to attend a workshop with the Austin calligraphy guild. The chief White House calligrapher, Pat Blair, gave an inspiring two day workshop on the Spencerian Script and flourishes. It was a fun time and an incredible learning experience.
