Who was the calligrapher that wrote the Declaration of Independence? How did they write during the American Revolution? What tools did they use? What lettering style? Can I write like they did? We will explore these questions and more in this hands-on 90-minute program with calligrapher, Debby Reelitz. Participants will get the opportunity to write in script, use a dip nib and ink and scribe a line from the Declaration of Independence. ABOUT DEBBY: For almost 30 years, Debby Reelitz has been a professional calligrapher, creating awards, gifts, commissions, chalkboards, writing on walls, engraving, teaching and much more. She lives in North Granby, Connecticut.

It is appropriate for adults, high school students, and middle school students. Our thanks to the Hopkinton Public Library Foundation for funding this program.
