Calligrapher Sara Loesch-Frank demonstrates the art of the italic hand, working with some historical inks and using bamboo pens.
Sara Loesch-Frank was raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and moved to CA in 1976. She currently teaches for Mountain View-Los Altos and Sunnyvale-Cupertino Adult education programs. She previously worked at Sempervirens Fund on nature maps and lettering before finding an art teaching position. She and her husband, Curt Frank, teach The Science of Art Materials at Stanford as an intensive 3-week late-summer immersion class. The course grew from her experimenting with learning, making and using a host of various historical art materials that this class has evolved into a twelve-year commitment.
This program is part of KALLIGRAPHIA 2025, the triennial exhibition by Friends of Calligraphy, in association with Book Arts & Special Collections. This year's exhibition celebrates the 50th anniversary of Friends of Calligraphy.
