Calligraphy Class
Discover the sacred art of hand lettering through the lens of The Saint John’s Bible—a modern masterpiece that is both a work of art and a work of theology. Created by a team of Benedictine monks and scholars in Minnesota under the guidance of master calligrapher Donald Jackson of Wales, this Bible reunites ancient techniques of calligraphy and illumination with an ecumenical spirit rooted in Benedictine spirituality.
In this reflective, hands-on class, participants will explore traditional letterforms and mindful practice while learning how sacred text, beauty, and intention come together on the page—inviting each person to slow down, breathe, and experience writing as prayerful art.
