Our Member Teachers
The Portland Society for Calligraphy is very lucky to have many talented calligraphy teachers in its membership. Some are well known and respected internationally. In addition to teaching workshops hosted through PSC and other calligraphy guilds, they also provide classes independently, or through local community colleges. Many calligraphic hands, as well as a variety of techniques are covered in their courses.
You can find a list of classes currently being taught by these teachers at the link below. We invite you to take a look, and see if anything interests you.
Calligraphy classes are offered on a regular basis at Portland Community College and Mt. Hood Community College.
These classes are not sponsored by PSC. Any questions you have about the courses should be directed to the teacher.

Calligraphy – Neuland & UncialStudents will have the opportunity to learn two calligraphic hands during this nine-week course. Neuland is a chunky letter style designed by Rudolf Koch in the early 1920s. It’s a surprisingly versatile script, and can feel light and soft, as well as bold and jarring. There are many versions of Neuland, and it’s easily adaptable to many applications. Uncial was commonly used from the 4th to 8th centuries by Latin and Greek scribes. It’s simple, rounded strokes make it a lovely choice for many contemporary projects. Uncial is relatively easy to learn. |
