Maker Series: The Power of Penmanship

How can cursive handwriting still be relevant today in our digital world? Attend this two-hour workshop to learn why cursive is important for brain health. Amy Owens will lead soothing warm-up drills and demonstrate the basic strokes that make up the letters of the alphabet to create beautiful forms.
