A.K. Smiley Public Library

Serving the City of Redlands, California since 1894

Established in 1894, A.K. Smiley Public Library has served generations of patrons in the City of Redlands and beyond. The only “admission fee” is curiosity. Lifelong learning is at the center of activity in the beautiful, historic building and attractive grounds!

Free Calligraphy Class: June 25th

 

Description: Spencerian script was developed by Platts Roger Spencer, in the late 1800s, as a faster, legible style for business writing. While this script was often written with a dipped, pointed pen, it’s also attractive using today’s everyday writing instruments. This comes in handy when our normal scribble just won’t do.

About Presenter: Instructor Kristi Darwick is a graduate of the University of Redlands. Kristi teaches calligraphy for UC Riverside and leads programs and workshops in California and beyond. As President of the California Society for Calligraphy, Kristi shares this passion through events for guild members and for the public. This past fall, she led eighteen artists on a study tour in Amsterdam and Bruges.

Materials List: Pencils will be provided free of charge.  Participants can bring a Fine-line ball point, gel or marker pen if they prefer these over pencil.
