Our May meeting is going to be a good one! We're setting up supply stations so you can explore and experiment with a wide range of tools, including broad-edge nibs, pointed pen, brush lettering, folded pens, natural reeds, and a variety of inks and papers. Whether you're brand new to calligraphy or have been at it for years, there's something for you here.

New members, this one is especially for you. Come with your questions and leave with some direction.

We'll also have a brief look at how Procreate can support your calligraphy practice (bring your iPad if you have one), plus our annual Board Elections.

This is our last meeting before the summer break, so we hope to see you there. Register at the link in bio.

About last night…

Paul took the Inkspots back in time and taught us about the history and techniques of metal point sketching. Thank you Paul!

If you were unable to make it last night and want some time with pen friends, stop by Library! at Cole & Ustick from 10am-2pm tomorrow (Saturday, April 18). Mollie will be working on birthday cards for our guild members. Bring your nib and help us make something special, or bring your own project and just enjoy the company.

Stop by and see what we're up to! A few of our calligraphers will be set up at Rediscovered Books tomorrow, writing names in calligraphy on bookmarks for anyone who wants one. Come say hi, watch the pens in action, and leave with your name in ink.

We're traveling back to the Renaissance this month! Our April meeting dives into the art of metal point, the mark making method beloved by some of history's greatest artists.

We'll be using metal point styluses to draw constructed versal letterforms, a beautiful pairing of ancient technique and timeless lettering. In-person attendees will have supplies ready to go, and virtual members can follow along with graphite or whatever tool you have on hand.

This one is going to be really special!

Please RSVP on our website: idahoinkspots.org
