I’m excited to be here!
« on: August 03, 2015, 07:26:39 PM »
Hello everyone – I’m Janice from North Carolina. My love of hand-written fonts inspired me to improve my own scribble and I have come to the conclusion that I cannot do it on my own. I am here for guidance and tips, to be encouraged and to encourage others, and to learn more about this beautiful art form. Thanks for having me!

Thanks all, for the warm welcome! 

Elizabeth -  I'm representing the Raleigh area :)

Matthew_R – I am interested in pointed pen calligraphy – leaning heavily towards the modern/contemporary style. I had actually started out many years ago learning some broad edge pen calligraphy, but since then my personal style has become more informal and that lends itself more to how I put it to use to create wine and mead labels (my husband and I have hobbies that complement each other nicely!).

Welcome, Southern neighbor, Janice!  I believe you have some very good calligraphy classes or a guild in North Carolina--Charlotte, if I recall.  That's always a great place to start.  But again, Welcome and enjoy your journey!

Debbie!  You will have to tell me more about this Charlotte Guild!  I'd love to have a guild close to me!!!

All I know of in NC is the Triangle Calligraphers' Guild (based in the triad - Greensboro, Winston Salem, and High Point), the Mountain Scribes (in Asheville), and the Coastal Calligraphers (in the Wilmington/SouthPort area).  :'(
