SUMMARY:Calligraphy That Inspired a Nation: Learn to Write Like America’s Founders
DESCRIPTION:Who was the calligrapher that wrote the Declaration of Independence? How did they write during the American Revolution? What tools did they use? What lettering style? Can I write like they did?  \nWe will explore these questions and more in this hands-on 90-minute program with calligrapher Debby Reelitz. Participants will get the opportunity to write in script\, use a dip nib and ink\, and scribe a line from the Declaration of Independence. \nReelitz will share pictures of famous colonists\, their desks and writing. Samples will range from Phillis Wheatley to George Washington to John Hancock. Next\, all the participants will learn how to set up their own writing desk\, paper\, nibs\, and ink. Lettering samples and instructions will be provided so participants can write in cursive with dip nib and ink. The end goal is to create a signature for themselves that is inspired by signatures from colonial times. \nRegistration is required. Registration will open on June 1. Please call the Windsor Public Library Reference Desk at 860-285-1918 with any questions. \nHosted by the Windsor Public Library. Sponsored by Windsor Library Association.
