Calligraphy that Inspired a Nation: Learn to Write Like America’s Founders

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.

For almost 30 years, Debby Reelitz has been a professional calligrapher, creating awards, gifts, commissions, chalkboards, writing on walls, engraving, teaching and much more. She lives in North Granby, Connecticut.
