Calligraphy Guild of Oklahoma

Welcome to CGO... The Calligraphy Guild of Oklahoma was founded in Tulsa in 1979. Our goal is to foster appreciation and furtherance of this beautiful art. Our guild has members of all skill levels including some who don't do calligraphy at all. Our monthly meetings are focused on the furtherance of calligraphy, “book arts” and anything having to do with paper. Members are very generous with their skills, sharing new techniques and ideas. Activities include demonstrations, discussions and displays. No experience necessary! Just come and be a part of this great organization.
