Join Boston-area visual artist Rachel Jackson for a workshop to explore Hebrew calligraphy using traditional calligraphic materials. Participants will create a beautiful card with the Hanukkah blessings just in time for the holiday. No background experience is required.
This is a great opportunity to relax, unwind and meet new people while encountering an art form we don’t often have the chance to experiment with.
Brunch and coffee will be served!
