You want to complement your beautiful pen and ink, watercolor, or graphite botanical illustration with equally beautiful lettering.  Through demonstrations, handouts, guided exercises, classroom projects, and homework critiques, professional calligrapher Nancy Galligan will introduce you to the stately, majestic, and versatile Roman Capital alphabet and its lowercase accompaniment Foundational.  Over the course of these four Friends of Wellesley College Botanic Garden sessions, we’ll discuss the history of these alphabets and quickly delve right in with nib and ink to gain an understanding of ideal proportions, spacing, and modern use.  No previous experience required, and all materials will be provided.  Friends members $150, non-members $200.  Register by calling 781-283-3094 or email wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.
