Calligraphy Workshop with Brenna O’Toole

For Adults & Teens
Saturday, February 7 | 10:30 AM–12:30 PM

Discover the art of beautiful writing in this hands-on calligraphy workshop! Join calligrapher Brenna O’Toole to learn uncial script, a historic style of lettering used in manuscripts from the 4th–8th centuries CE.

During the workshop, Brenna will guide participants through live demonstrations and provide detailed handouts to help you practice and understand this elegant, all-capital script. With its round, lively letterforms, uncial writing feels both timeless and surprisingly modern—perfect for enhancing journals, cards, and handwritten letters.
