Part of the Jane Austen series of programs. Join us for an evening of exploration into the lost art of letter writing a la Jane Austen’s “Pens and Sensibility.” While not a calligraphy class, it is, rather, an opportunity to get into the habit of writing REAL letters, like they did in 1813. Pens and stationery will be provided.
