Calligraphy Guild Pittsburgh upcoming events

Once Upon a Circle (April 25, 2026)

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Circles…no beginning, no end...looking around us we can see circular designs everywhere! For lettering artists, circles invite us to step away from the ‘straight base line’ and create something different, something fresh.

In this workshop we will look at circles differently, learning how to incorporate circles into our lettering designs and lettering into our circle designs. As we stretch, pull, and push the boundaries of what we think is possible, we will enjoy creating unique works.

‘Free Writing’ will be addressed and encouraged as Suzie walks participants through her process and shares her love of this form of writing. She will supply many samples and ideas for participants’ enjoyment and inspiration.

Members: $140 • Non-Members $160
