CALLIGRAPHY CLASSES & CRAFT WORKSHOPS

Bluestone Farm and Living Arts Center –
118 Federal Hill Road, in Brewster, New York 10509

In an age of texting and keyboarding, using dip pens and ink to create beautiful, imaginative, whimsical and creative letters by hand may seem out of date – not so - rather, it is timeless. Calligraphy is a meditative art form. In the end there is achievement and beauty and creativity.
