Explore the art of 18th-century handwriting in this hands-on workshop at Strawbery Banke. Participants will learn traditional quill-writing techniques and practice the elegant scripts used by the Founding Generation.

Guided by Museum instructors, you’ll cut your own quill pen to use during class and take home. You’ll also work with historically accurate inks to create a finished piece of handwritten penwork, beautifully framed and ready to keep or give as a gift.

This workshop is suitable for ages 16 and older and limited to 12 participants. All materials are included. Members $35; Non-Members $45.
