Outreach program - membership not required. No charge.
In-person San Dimas library--our chance to gather in the library room with friends! We'll make this a hybrid--we don't want anyone to be left out! It will be available on Zoom, as well.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM: Join us for a Card workshop
Fathers, Mother's and Others days are coming! Celebrate them with a thoughtful handmade card.
Mina Taylor will be showing us how to make 3 different cards.
1. Kids Names Card- Water color the leaves or flowers to grow up out of the names. Inside: Thanks Mom/Dad for growing us!
2. Name of recipient Card- List some attributes you love about the person (can be funny too)
Inside: Things I can't forget about you.
3. A grid of calligraphy card for any occasion.
LEVEL: All skill levels
The workshop will be recorded and available for two months.
ABOUT MINA: Mina Taylor has practiced calligraphy for over 40 years. For 20 years she ran an art show featuring 25 artists from southern California. In 1979, she founded and launched her calligraphic business: Mina’s Manuscripts & More. Taking on students and limited commissions, her current work can be seen at minas.manuscripts on Instagram. “I believe that calligraphic words of truth can inspire people in transition, in grief, in hopelessness, in joy, in all of life really- to think beyond their situation to eternal things."
