Calligraphy with Annabella Serra

Discover the art of handwriting and calligraphy! 

Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum and Annabella Serra would like to bring it to you, in an atmosphere of relaxation that helps re-create the feeling from previous centuries of writing, as well as the sense of satisfaction that comes from experiencing the materials.

Combining the skills and artistry from centuries of handwriting and illumination, you'll have the opportunity to discover tools to make your writing experience a long-lasting affair, one you will hopefully continue for years to come.

Come and feel the papers; work with the nibs, pens and inks, while engaging touch, sight, hearing, smell, and — yes, if you lick the nib — taste! So amazing, and yet, so simple.

Annabella Serra is a calligrapher, a maker, and a restorer. Her beginnings took her from a love of Art and Engineering to the world of film animation and special effects. Annabella is the owner of The Lost Quill, where she teaches and encourages people to embrace the art of handwriting.
