Thanks
Thank you to LynnAnn Babuk for instructing our “Lettering on Black”. Lots of experimentation and getting to know one another and how our ink, paper and letters combine in magical ways! Scroll to bottom of this posting to see pictures.
Calligraphy Classes in Edmonton
Watch for classes offered at Edmonton Public, The Paint Spot and the City Arts Centre. Most of them are taught by ECS members who have an extensive background in calligraphy.
Meetup at the Artelier
Join us for a follow-up at the Artelier on November 24th from 10-4. Gail Fournier will be there to greet you and will demonstrate lettering and designing with bleach on black paper at 10:00.
Following the demo, you can stay on until 4 pm and work on your projects. Mentors will be available to answer your questions and do some informal tutoring.
In October, we found the lunch spots a bit of a challenge, so with a kitchen on site, it might be best to bring your lunch.

The International Calligraphy Conference
It is in Sherbrooke, Quebec this year. Go to RENDEZ VOUS 2019 and check it out. Several members are registered. Join in the fun.
We will be providing small gifts for their SWAG bags. Stay tuned for work bees. We need to make 450!
Mail Art Project
The Mail Art project will begin in February. Come to the meeting to sign up. You will be making 3 envelopes to send to fellow members over 3 months. This is a very manageable project with guaranteed fabulousness! At the October Meeting the Letters and Lines Segment featured envelopes that members have received.
Volunteer Appreciation
Also, in February, we will honour our volunteers. We LOVE our volunteers!

Doors open at 10 and the studio space is available for ECS members at no cost. Guests are $10.00.
Members can arrive at any time during the day to check out the work that is taking place OR choose to use the studio as a work space for the day and work at their own pace.
