Not what a calligrapher would call "calligraphy".
It's more like what we might call "literacy".
It's a remarkable technique, though, and
she certainly could develop her handwriting
to a point that it could be called "calligraphy".
But that level of skill would likely take years
& a considerable number of pick-up trucks.

I seriously need some help moving a small table-top printing press from my car to a cart on the dock of the Hobbs Building. This was the press I used for demos at Missouri Town last weekend. There was a time I could move it with help of one other person. Now my joints are shot and most of my friends are limited by age &/or accumulated injuries. I will treat any one who can help to a BBQ sandwich and, of course, the studio's sincere thanks.
The additional weight is burning through my gas money and tomorrow I need to take a load of yard waste to MO Organics.
Two fit folks can do it, or four who aren't so fit. 😕

Due to a miscommunication over starting-time,
last month's workshop didn't happen.
Tonight I'd like to discuss signature redesign
& it's relation to titling, tooling, and personality.
Bring some of your favorite tools &
your free-wheeling imagination.
See you at 6PM!
