Just in case you were wondering if the Flourish Festival of Letters and Arts is worth it or not, ask yourself this. What is the price of meeting people in person, whom you have the same passion for the lettering arts as you? What is the price to pay for meeting some of the world’s best calligraphers and instructors all in on place for four days where you get to have dinner at the table with them? And yet can also get your quiet time too if you need it? There are some unique opportunities like bottle painting, origami, a viewing the St. John’s Bible onsite, hearing Michael Sull recite poetry, participating in a panel discussion on the future of guilds and calligraphy… and well, enjoying our warm Canadian hospitality, eh?
But the friendships you will develop and seal in these days are life-long family. The cost? Priceless. So come on down and frolic, flourish and have some fun. (this probably feels like a paid ad but I promise there’s nothing in this for me other than getting to meet you).
I will be at this years conference once again. You can sign up for the whole conference, or just a day. If you’ve never done calligraphy but just want a little taster, sign up for my intro classes for pointed pen, and / or broad edge. I’ll intro divide you not only to calligraphy, but the calligraphy culture that is akin to cuddling up in a warm cozy blanket. Questions? Comments? I am here for them.
