Welcome to Memphis Calligraphy Guild
The Memphis Calligraphy Guild is a non-profit society organized to promote the study, practice and appreciation of calligraphy and related arts. We meet monthly at 6:00 P.M. on the first Monday of every month – EXCEPTION: In July and September, we meet on the second Monday. Please check our calendar page for dates and program topics.
In addition to meetings, the Guild sponsors workshops several times a year. Many of our members are available for additional classes and commissioned work. We also host Calligraphy 101 beginner-level classes open to the public.
So, if calligraphy is your passion, we invite you to join the Memphis Calligraphy Guild and share the world of beautiful writing with us.
