The Fabulous Las Vegas Scribes have a year under our belt, and the new meeting format was based on the way the group evolved over the past year. We have beginning and experienced calligraphers and paper artists and welcome any interest level. We are supportive and fun to boot!! If you're still not convinced you would fit in, we are offering a Calligraphy Basics class, complete with a supply kit with everything you need to get started writing with a pointed pen and scary oblique pen holder and/or a broad-edged nib and straight holder. The class will take the mystery out of those nibs and holders! Check out our Workshops/Classes page for updated information and we'll see you soon!
Our Program Chairman Pat got the new year off to a great start. She walked us through making an accordion fold book and next month she'll show us how to make the cover for it. For the rest of the year we have a place to put samples of our work from each meeting. Our member, Emily, told us about her art pieces which are being published in a new book from Australia. We had a drawing to give away some hand-lettered bookmarks with appropriate "bookish" sayings written in pointed pen hands. The new calligraphy "huddles" were a hit as we split into three groups: pointed pen, broad-edged pens, and drawn letters. New tools, tips, a collection of envelopes acquired by Audrey in envelope "exchanges" were shared, and we all think this new meeting format will be fabulous!
