Invitation to Join our Calligraphers' Guild

 It is Autumn, the good news is that the smoke has gone away and we are breathing fresh air again. the other good news is that we are getting some rain and the thirsty earth is enjoying a good soak. The not so good news is we are still dealing with pandemic and The Delta, and that mostly it is the unvaccinated people are getting very sick and filling the hospitals.  

Our Calligraphy Guild is still meeting on Zoom and in-person meetings won't be happening in the near future.  I have been making greeting cards to share with a retirement home in our community and some of our calligraphers will be contributing to this effort.

 We would like to expand our membership and I have designed a poster to put around town. We are inviting community members to try out a free meeting and and get inspired to incorporate calligraphy and letter arts into their creative lives. Here is our poster I designed, please feel free to download and share with your friends. 

Check out our website. If you have calligraphic needs, we have skilled artists and calligraphers for hire . Stay tuned for newsletters, articles and events.

August 2021in Ashland: It is smoky and Pandemic is surging ahead in full force.

I am sad that we are still living with heavy smoke from wildfires in our area, and Covid virus, Delta Variance is continues to surge with no end in sight .  As of today August 24, 2021, there are no ICU beds available in any of the Jackson and Josephine county hospitals.  

We did have a highlight In July. Our Calligrapher's Guild Art Exhibit was a fun and successful event.

Please check out our web site Rogue Pens and if you need services of a calligrapher you can find Calligraphers for Hire in Jackson county Oregon. We had a successful exhibit at Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville Oregon, over 200 people came to the opening reception and we sold several pieces. I am glad I purchased Steve Ostrander's piece and it is now happily hanging just in the right place near our T.V. I thought it was well done and humerus. It says: "I didn't mean to push your buttons, I was just looking for the mute."





Here are some of my art pieces I displayed at the exhibit.
