*NEW Celebrating 250 Years With Cursive

This year is the celebration of America 250: The official commemoration for the 250th anniversary (Semi-quin-centennial) of American independence. A key part involves citizen archivist projects, like those by the National Archives, to digitize and transcribe handwritten documents from the Revolutionary era, making them searchable and understandable for modern audiences.  In this fun workshop, we are going to learn cursive and pen a letter using fountain pens (that are provided). We will learn a little about the Declaration on Independence writing style and how to care for fountain pens. We will celebrate going slow and going analog in a modern time of screens and typing. This is a fun way to experience history physically while working on handwriting. This class is being held in conjunction with the Red River Artist Network and their commitment to celebrating and promoting art in the Red River Valley.
