The Houston Calligraphy Guild is dedicated to teaching calligraphy as an art form and encouraging love of the craft. Our non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization, was formed in 1979 and is still thriving after 40 years with several original members as active participants. Whether you are a beginner or a skilled calligrapher, we invite you to attend a single meeting, learn more about the Guild and become a member of our community. Membership is open to all.

Meetings are held the second Saturday of each month at the Tracy Gee Community Center, 3599 Westcenter Drive, Houston, TX 77042. Programs are taught by members, many of whom teach calligraphy outside the guild.

From September through May our schedule includes an early bird class or alternate choice mentoring program which is followed by a short business meeting and then a second calligraphy program. The Guild’s summer study program during the months of June, July and August is open to Members only and focuses on a single calligraphic script or a variety of related skills. An extensive library of books is available to members for individual study.

Special weekend workshops taught by visiting artists and master calligraphers are held several times per year and provide advanced training. In addition, the Guild holds a biennial weekend retreat featuring a wide choice of classes for all student levels.

We are actively involved with the Houston community. Members demonstrate calligraphy and interact with Houston children and families at schools, libraries, museums, the craft center and at events across the city. In addition, we support local veterans with cards.
