RIT Handlettering Club

RIT Hand Lettering Club was started during the 2010-2011 academic year by a passionate group of graphic design and illustration students.

After a hiatus, the Club came back strong in 2012-2013 and is now a very popular organization on campus.

The Club is open to everyone who is interested in hand lettering and learning more styles and techniques. There are weekly meetings, speakers and social gathering.

The first speaker of the 2013-2014 was calligrapher Carol Henshaw, who demonstrated pencil lettering.
