The Chicago Calligraphy Collective fosters education and exposure to calligraphy in all its various forms and related arts. In a world where electronic communication and media are prevalent, we believe that providing awareness and appreciation of the “art of beautiful lettering” will allow this time-honored and diverse art form to not only endure, but to thrive in the 21st century.

“Conjuring Essence in Line & Color” -
Our weekend workshop with Suzanne Moore is underway!!
Tapping into individual experience as calligraphers, students will use their rich vocabulary of shapes and forms as a foundation. Experimentation will take “writing” to a new dimension. Using sumi, acrylics and color media, they will consider and “record” the essence of a word or experiment with a single letter. An open mind and a spirit of adventure await in this weekend workshop!

Registration is open for our next CCC Presents!

In this session, Shizuka will share her discovery of new artistic expressions made possible by her year-long participation in The Hyogu Study Group with Master Kiyoshi Sakurai with support from a CCC Tribute Fund Scholarship Grant. In her lecture, Shizuka will define the core essence of Hyogu — not just as “framing,” but as a profound philosophy of preserving art for centuries — and the reasons why she chose to enter this traditional world.

FAKE email alert. The CCC president Pamela Rodey DID NOT send an email asking you to buy gift cards for female vets. And the CCC would NEVER send an email like that. ALWAYS check the email address - it was not the president’s. Hope no one was caught. I hope the BAD ACTORS get caught

From young to not so young, a great event for all skill levels. Try your hand is one of the most fun events! The community at and fans of learning all they can about calligraphy in a short session join in for 2 hours of fun. One could liken it to speed dating for calligraphy hands. Everyone gets a packet of what they learned to keep up the practice after they get home.
