*The Weekly Class in La Mesa, California... Today we completed our 7th class of the Spring Session. We are doing an interesting project and spent the first half of our time working on it. The second half was spent doing preparatory writing work for this project. The pointed pen study we are attempting to learn is more casual and contemporary in nature and hopefully a little more forgiving. We are a little over half way but you can still join us. Why not? La Mesa Adult Enrichment Center, 8450 La Mesa Boulevard, La Mesa, CA 91942...Thursday 9-11:30AM...$12 for 12 classes

*The year end Special Membership Workshop for Orange County Society for Calligraphy, June 4, 2011. We are doing a "back by demand Gel Pen Extravaganza" workshop. Back several years ago I did many of these and they were so well received. I have not done one since the San Diego group requested a similar workshop last year. I have now been asked to do this one in the OC.

*Ghost Ranch this Summer 2011... is also just down the road! I will be teaching on the subject, "Using the Pointed Pen to the Max!" Week II (June 20-26, 2011) This great class will be fun yet challenging to all, and will definitely help to their raise your calligraphic skills. Why not spend a week of your summer in glorious northern New Mexico, at the place Georgia O Keefe considered the "Magical Place" ...

*Workshop for the San Diego Fellow Calligraphers in 2012. This workshop is scheduled but the subject has not been finalized. Watch for more news.

*Your name done in hand calligraphy...

Would you like your name done in original hand calligraphy? After I did some Thank You's with people's names (See sample above) I thought there might be more people out there who might like this done for them. I would do each one as original art. You would receive the original art to use for personal use and enjoyment. A stamp, cards or notes, website header (just give a credit line), maybe even a "special gift" for that special one. It would be great to have nicely matted and framed in a little frame for a special occasion. Just as long as nothing commercial (money making) is done with it. I would not be selling the copyright or rights to the artwork, this would remain my property and I would be retaining the right to use the artwork for any project I might wish. So here's an opportunity to have a "famous calligrapher" do a nice little piece of personal artwork just for you and at a super reasonable price....just $35 plus cost for mailing.
