We are excited to announce a new section of this web site: A directory of freelance calligraphers in the state of Florida! Click here to view the directory. It is provided as a service to both the public and its members. If you are a calligrapher who belongs to one of the Florida calligraphy guilds, you can submit your information to the webmaster.
Bobbi Yoffee of Jacksonville and Judith Leitch of Lake Mary each have a piece in the Visions of the Spirit II: Celebrating the New Millennium exhibit at the Washington National Cathedral! The Cathedral showcases the work of sixty-nine calligraphers from across the United States, Japan and Canada in its second juried calligraphy exhibition which runs through November 1. Judith’s piece is a handmade book and clamshell box titled "ALONE". The piece is an accordian fold format of 140# Arches watercolor paper measuring 8 3/4" x 38", with a light acrylic wash background and lettering done in gouache. This calligraphy project was inspired by an article Judith read describing Admiral Richard Byrd's five month solitary stay on Antarctica. Bobbi’s piece is titled ‘Jubilee 2000’ and is an 18" x 18" piece created with pastels, gouache and Schmincke gold. Click here to see Bobbi's piece.

We are always gathering the most current information for each of the Florida guilds. If you are a member of a Florida calligraphy guild, you may submit information about your guild to the webmaster. Please include your name, guild affiliation and any information you would like posted on this Web site.
