The Royal City Calligraphy Guild boasts some imaginative hosts. Their conference, held every two years, is built around a different theme. This year—‘How Western Calligraphy was One’—was organized by Carol Donaghy and her team of volunteers. Ink slingers from southern Ontario arrived for a day of western adventure. The long-anticipated event, a COVID casualty shelved from 2020, was alive and live with excitement!
