Laval Seniors’ Week – Calligraphy: The Art of Writing from a Bygone Era
Before keyboards, screens, and even ballpoint pens, every letter was carefully formed by hand. Calligraphy was much more than simply a way of writing: it reflected the skill and individuality of the person holding the pen.
In this workshop, discover writing techniques that have left their mark throughout the centuries and learn the secrets of writing with a dip pen. Through demonstrations and hands-on exercises, you’ll explore the techniques, tools, and styles used to pass down stories, correspondence, and precious documents through the ages.
This activity invites you to slow down, create, and reconnect with a time-honoured skill that, in addition to representing a now-rare form of communication, carries a distinctive touch of elegance.
