Philadelphia Calligraphers' Society

The Philadelphia Calligraphers' Society is a non-profit association which seeks to advance the knowledge and appreciation of calligraphy and to encourage the exchange of ideas among our members and the art community. Membership is open to anyone regardless of calligraphic ability. Whether you are a professional artist, a student, a hobbyist, or a calligraphile, PCS provides information, workshops,

creative opportunities, and a community of colleagues for scribes throughout the Delaware Valley. Established in 1976, the Society's purpose is to promote the study and practice of calligraphy and allied arts and to focus public attention on its use and beauty. In 2006, PCS is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a major exhibit at the Free Library of Philadephia, two regional exhibits, community outreach programs, and a very special anniversary dinner complete with entertainment and gifts for everyone.

Students at every skill level—from beginner to those with years of experience—will find that making a calligraphy mandala is a playful and relaxing way to focus on and perfect the foundations of calligraphic letterforms. To this end, our mandalas will incorporate basic strokes, stroke patterns, and calligraphic writing using both broad and pointed pens.

PCS Members at the School of District of Philadelphia’s Philly250 kickoff event last Saturday. We had a wonderful time doing calligraphy for visitors, discussing the importance of handwriting and the early printing press in the American Revolution, and interacting with other presenters from the Historical Society, the Library Company, and Mother Bethel A.M.E Church.
