Join
us as we welcome Gwen Weaver and
her "Pointed Pen Personalities" from
Virginia Beach, Virginia for the 26th annual All Oregon Calligraphers
Conference.
"Although I have been trained in the broad-edged pen, I've fallen completely and desperately in love with the pointed pen. I attended a six-week class at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC in 1982 and the rest is history!"
Gwen has been teaching pointed pen personalities all across the US and Canada for many years starting in the mid 80s. She loves traveling and meeting so many fascinating calligraphers and artists. She taught at the Boston Conference in 2001, Legacies in 2005 and Letterforum in 2006.
Gwen has been welcomed as a presenter at IAMPETH – the pointy pen people – for many years and this wonderful group of Master Pen People is open to all of Gwen's "different" stuff – Weaver Writing, Romantically Roman, Copperplate and even Celtic Knots!
With work exhibited at many of the International Conferences and at other venues including The National Cathedral in Washington, DC, The Graceful Envelope, The Days of the Handmade Book, Alpha-Mark, Visual Voices, the Newberry Library, Strathmore Hall, the Donnell Library and others, Gwen is fully immersed in the national calligraphic scene. You'll find Gwen published in Letter Arts Review, Glen's Calendars, Bound and Lettered, Somerset Magazine, The Art and Craft of Hand Lettering, Scripsit and many other guild presentations.
We hope you will join us for an action-packed day. See you in October!
