Join calligrapher Debby Reelitz this Saturday, April 25th for a hands-on program about the Declaration of Independence at the CT Museum of Culture and History.

So excited to be presenting at the CT Museum of Culture and History this Saturday as part of their new exhibit, "Rebellious" which explores the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness in Connecticut. I will be leading a hands-on program, "Calligraphy that inspired a nation: Learn to write like America’s founders". Come explore this great exhibit and join me for the program. https://www.connecticutmuseum.org/do-learn/upcoming-events/
