What we’re about
Welcome to The Inky Quill! This group is intended for all who have an interest in the lost art of handwriting, like calligraphy. We aim to discuss all things concerning handwriting, practice techniques and methods, and showcase works by ourselves and others. This group is open to people of all ages and skill levels.
Our meetings will take place once a month in person, typically at a coffee shop or book store, where we can have some hands-on practice together. We will also have a monthly online event for tutorials, guides, and sharing resources.
Here is the link to our Discord server. Feel free to join and hang out!
