Fort Mason Students & Teachers Exhibit at KALLIGRAPHIA 13

Fort Mason Center Bldg C Room 210 or 205  is like a 'ClubHouse' for learning Calligraphy. It's nice to know that  students & teachers who brought their bodies,minds and souls to Fort Mason calligraphy night classes starting from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm are among the artists  exhibiting their artistry at SFPL Main Library, Skylight Gallery. Though the classes were meant for beginners, others kept  enrolling to advance their craft. You'd be surprised some of the students who kept enrolling have 20 to 40 years of experiences already.
