Retreat &Workshops

WCG offers workshops on various topics, in person as well as online, for calligraphers of all levels. Please join us to refresh your skills, learn a new hand or technique, broaden your repertoire, and meet fellow calligraphy enthusiasts.

WCG also encourages calligraphic study by offering scholarships.
We’d love to hear your workshop suggestions and welcome volunteers to the workshops committee. Contact caroline.knickerbocker@gmail.com.
