THE 2009 SPENCERIAN SAGA PROGRAMS!
2009 marks the 23rd year of the Spencerian Saga! This special program, the most thorough week-long workshop on vintage American handwriting held in the United States, is designed for all persons who share a love of the beauty, techniques and history of 19th Century American Ornamental Penmanship.
Two Distinct Versions of the Program are Offered
The Traditional Saga features a thorough introduction of Spencerian writing and decorative certificate techniques known as Engrossing. The instruction and activities are conducted in an historical context throughout the week, with hundreds of original penmanship specimens for the participant to study.
For the Traditional Saga program, no previous experience or skill-level is required. If a person has never held a pen but has an interest to learn – this program is for you!
The Advanced Spencerian Saga continues the instruction, but at a higher level. More involved writing techniques, fancier letterforms, elaborate flourishing patterns, learning how to design with penmanship and understanding the best use of decorative embellishing are presented in a manner involving student projects.
To gain the most benefit from this program, persons who wish to attend should already have at least a familiarity and/or beginner's degree of skill in any form of ornamental penmanship, whether it be Spencerian, Copperplate or decorative writing. A new, special set of practice exercises and projects will be featured this year, both in ornate letters and in decorative Off-Hand Flourishing.

We are extremely excited about the programs we have planned for this year, and hope that you will be able to join us for a visit back in time to America's Golden Age of Penmanship. Together we will study the techniques of the past, be inspired by the legendary Master Penmen, and carry on the tradition and skill from a bygone era. We can't wait to meet you in person.
