Write On Calligraphers (WOC) is a nonprofit organization of
Pacific Northwest artists who share and promote a love of letters and the paper arts.
The general meetings are open to the public at no charge.
Location: The Covid 19 pandemic requires us to virtually meet via the Zoom app. A link will be sent to WOC members and others who request it. Normally, and eventually again, meetings will take place at Artworks in Edmonds, WA, on the second Tuesday of January, March, May, September and November at 7 PM.
Throughout the year, Write On Calligraphers sponsors workshops conducted by renowned calligraphers and paper artists and lists resources for local calligraphy classes. Find Upcoming Workshops, General Meetings, and Events.
The current state of Covid 19 precautions has allowed a flourishing of online instruction available to calligraphers. WOC tracks many instructors who now teach virtually.
