This is a FREE online event but registration is required.
Join the Colleagues of Calligraphy at this presentation by Mike Gold, former Senior Lettering Designer with American Greetings and calligraphy instructor extraordinaire. We will learn a little about Mike and his lettering journey followed by a lecture he first gave at Seattlers in 2018.
From Mike:
Jeffrey Dietch, who curated Calligraffiti shows in New York both in 1984 and 2013, has said that “a calligraphic impulse has been behind some of the greatest works of Modern Art.”
That calligraphic impulse is alive today not only in traditional calligraphy circles, but also in the work of artists doing work not always thought of as calligraphy: graffiti artists, painters of all kinds, commercial hand lettering artists, among others.
At a time when the future of handwriting and calligraphy is being questioned, and many artists have moved away from doing traditional calligraphic work and the calligraphy world as we know it, I want to show how the spirit of calligraphy is alive and flourishing in many ways and with many artists.
Once you register, you will be sent the link to join this sure-to-be-inspiring evening.
