Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendees will learn all about the techniques and tools of the beautiful art of Calligraphy, and will create a piece of art suitable for framing using techniques learned. Attendees will learn to make a beautiful piece of 'wearable art' using memory wire.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Wire Jewelry: Each person attending made one piece of 'wearable art' with the supplies provided. Calligraphy feedback: 'Wow! Wonderful workshop. I like the old styles much better than the modern forms.' ' This class was much harder than I thought it would be but was so helpful.' 'This was so fun; I'm going to frame mine.'
