Learn to Write Your Name Like John Hancock

Who was the calligrapher that wrote the Declaration of Independence? How did they write during the American Revolution? What tools did they use? What lettering style? Can I write like they did? We will explore these questions and more in this hands-on 90-minute program with calligrapher, Debby Reelitz. Participants will get the opportunity to write in script, use a dip nib and ink and scribe a line from the Declaration of Independence.
Debby has presented this program across the state with great reviews:
"I'm a lawyer - I learned something and so enjoyed this!"
"“Calligraphy that inspired a nation: Learn to write like America’s founders" was one of the best and most unique programs we have had at [our library] in a long time! Not only did all my teens love the program, but their parents were wanting to jump in, too! Highly recommend!”
Registration is required for this in-person program for teens & adults. Sponsored by the Friends of the Avon Library.
