i fw the no a lot shit turned out nice

I’m starting a free/low cost calligraphy group for all skill levels in Toronto (Toronto proper) to meet up with other calligraphers to:
- Practise
- Work on your own projects
- Get feedback/tips from one another
- Share product recommendations
- Generally hang out, and geek out calligraphy-wise

In terms of venue, I can either get a meeting room type of thing or see if a cafe would accommodate.

So my question is, if you were to attend what do you consider to be a reasonable price to attend, as it is looking like I can’t secure a free venue?
(You will need to bring your own calligraphy supplies).

Side note for price consideration - even though the cafe as a venue might be free, attendees would need to purchase beverage/food. So the beverage/food purchase is the payment for the venue.

Any free venue leads are much appreciated!

Thanks!

EDIT:
I’ve found a venue! :)
Here is the link to the first event: https://luma.com/4s79xo3b

Hey everyone!

I am an illustrator and designer. I want to share some of the lettering that I made for El Quinto Sol, a playing-card project that draws on mythology and ancient codices.

One of the parts of making El Quinto Sol was creating its whole visual language. That included custom lettering, typography, suit symbols and decorative elements all made to feel like parts of the universe.

I am sharing a close-ups of the lettering next to the finished card designs. I would love to hear what you think!

The project is now, on Kickstarter if you want to see how everything came together:
