Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum Wayzgoose Workshop

July 11, 2017 Lorrie Frear

I was invited to lead a calligraphy workshop at the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin as part of its Wayzgoose Celebration November 8-10, 2024. The workshop, The Writing is on the Wall! Introduced participants to the Chancery Cursive miniscules and majuscules in a six hour timeframe.

This is a fantastic museum in a great location with a fun leadership team. It is a treasure trove of cool stuff!

The coolest wall ever in the entry area of the museum. Great photo area.
