  Join us for the first ever SOUTHERN SPENCERIAN SAGA!

  Michael Sull is an IAMPETH master penman and author living in Mission, Kansas. An expert on penmanship, he was Ronald Reagan's calligrapher after his presidency.

  Michael is known worldwide for his skill and teaching ability and is considered the foremost expert on Spencerian Script.

  This is a unique opportunity to enjoy an in person, immersive experience with a true master.  Classes will be held at the Event Studio at Spruill Center for the Arts in Dunwoody, from Saturday June 13th through Tuesday June 16th from 11AM-4PM.  A special presentation will be held on Saturday evening from 7-9PM with a lecture and demonstration; many historical documents will be on view - the Saturday evening presentation is open to the public.

  Enrollment is limited to 20 students.  The initial cost of the intensive four day experience is $1,300 which can be paid in four easy installments.  The final installment may be reduced depending on the final number of enrollees.

  The addition of metal leaf adds a beautiful, dimentional, textural beauty to any work of calligraphy or art.

  Now you can learn from a master - in person - Reggie Ezell, a gifted teacher for over 40 years who specializes in the art of guilding.  After this class, Reggie will not be traveling to teach this again-so grab this opportunity while you can! This class is for all levels - no prior experience is needed and no level of calligraphic skill is required.  Experienced students will be able to expand to more advanced works and be introduced to multiple techniques.

  We will host a public demonstration/pizza party on Saturday night beginning at 6:30 which will be open to the public.

  This exciting class is only $475 for both days and includes most of the supplies you will need, including the gold leaf and sizing.  Reserve your spot now with a $150 deposit.  If we have more than 12 participants, the final balance on the class will be reduced based on the headcount.
