General Meetings

All Valley Calligraphy Guild meetings will take place via Zoom until further notice. Members will receive invitations by email. Most general meetings will take place at 7 PM, Pacific Coast time. All VCG members, everywhere in the known universe, have an opportunity to attend monthly meetings, see old friends and learn new techniques. A Zoom invitation will be sent out to all members the day before the meeting.

MAY 2022
CHALLENGE FOR MAY 2022 May Day brings thoughts of flowers. Would you like to calligraph a poem about flowers? Draw flowers? Paint flowers? (Check out the Flowers to Send workshop for more flower ideas.) May also gives us Mother’s Day. If you need someone to create a card for, there are lots of moms in elderly facilities who might not have a child willing or able to make them a card. You could spread much joy with your creativity. Memorial Day is a perfect time to remember service members we have lost by creating a calligraphic tribute. Please take a photo of your creation and email it to Judy Black for inclusion in the VCG Newsletter.
