Play Day

After our usual Show & Share, Demos, a chance to socialize and a brief Meeting/Update we will all have a chance to try out some new tools and some old favorites.


Hey, Colleagues!

Join us for a play day "sponsored" by John Neal Bookseller!

JNB has sent us a huge box of supplies for us to "try before you buy". 

This Saturday, November 16, 2024 from 12:30-3:30at Hillside Church in Bloomington, Room 208

“Oh my gosh! Check out some of the items that JNB sent us! Books, too? Tools! What’s that blue thing? I can’t wait to see what it is! And granulating colors? …”

 - overheard when seeing photos of our Try N Buy box 

Come try out any/all of the supplies and enjoy some calligraphic comradery with fellow colleagues. 

  • Members will get a special Colleagues Discount Code for 10% off orders if placed on Saturday - we’ll have laptops ready - or you can take your order form home and order by November 30!

  • Yes! Other items on JNB’s website can also be included and receive the discount. 

  • No matter which way you order, items will be shipped directly to you!

  • There will be light refreshment. Bring something to share…if you want to.

  • Members are encouraged to bring guests! 

Fun! We hope to see you there!

We will attempt a Live Stream on Instagram - where you can watch some of the demos. We are hoping there will be an opportunity to ask questions to individuals trying out items. If viewers on IG want to order anything, they can reach out to membership@colleaguesofcalligraphy.com to request an order form (this option is for members only).


Member Programs are free for members. However, members are encouraged to bring guests to our in person programs who can attend one free program in a season.
