Jean Formo
From Jean:
I have been wielding a pen since 1977 when I joined Colleagues as a self-taught beginner. Fast forward, after years as a workshop student, I began to teach traveling weekend workshops and conference classes myself. I became a book artist and worked in the greeting card industry for many years. Teaching was my main focus, and I still love to see the "light bulb effect" during a class, when students "get it". I can share my knowledge on a wide of calligraphic subjects or questions. Just get in touch."

Anita Hendrickx
From Anita:
I am a newly minted retiree from teaching high school art for over 25 years. I continue to teach a variety of art courses in the St. Cloud area. As expected, I practice what I preach and teach with emphasis on calligraphy, illustration, and painting.
Through the Colleagues of Calligraphy site I have been fortunate to have gained quite a few clients wanting art pieces. You can also find me on LINKEDIN and Instagram (hendrickxanitart@).

Sally Wightkin
From Sally:
I love to talk about calligraphy! I’ve been in the calligraphic world since about 1987. Of course I don’t have all the answers but I probably have an idea of where to find an answer; a special book, another colleague, a website, a workshop, an accomplished calligrapher…
I can meet with people online or in person. No question is too small and as a matter of fact, sometimes it is the smallest of “tweak” to a tool or the simplest of a hint that can make all the difference on your calligraphic journey!
