Greetings,
Allow me to introduce myself as a new member.
My name is Rick Bouchard, from Scarborough, Maine.
I am one of two coordinators for the Casco Bay Scribes, a guild of lettering artists in Southern Maine..., who once had the honor of having Erica McPhee as a member. We miss her!
I have been doing calligraphy since 1992, have done weddings, certificates and other things as a part-time business and now just do it solely for fun! I have studied with a number of teachers including: Peter Halliday, Thomas Hoyer, Barbara Gullbrand, Victoria Pittman, Maggie McNeice, Nancy Leavitt, Kate McCulla, Kathy Milici & Dan Mooney, Margo Ditmer, Sheila Waters, Ted Kadin, and Nancy Culmone. How do I remember all those names? Because I have a calligraphy tackle box that I bring to all my workshops…, and, afterward, I ask the teacher to sign it.
My second bedroom is a calligraphy studio. Recently, I have embarked on learning Spencerian and Copperplate, two hands that I have admired for a long time.
I am glad to have found this forum.
Yours in the ink,
RickFromMaine
