Description:

Following a short CSO AGM and Elections, founding member Judy Bainbridge will introduce you to Gothic Script, AKA Gothic Textura Quadrata, AKA Black Letter. We will do some writing. Judy will bring paper lined for a Pilot Parallel Pen size 3.8(green top). Please bring one if you have one. Judy will have a few to borrow and a few to buy ($15 cash). She can help you at break if your pen needs refilling or you are having trouble with it. Gothic is a beautiful strong, majestic hand, still the National Hand of Germany. If you have done any projects in Gothic please bring them for the Gallery table.
