Capital City Scribes started out as a search for a bottle of ink back in 1983. We are now almost 25 years old with a strong membership of almost 100 members. Our guild has a passion for exploring not only the construction of the lettering itself, but the integration of art into the calligraphic pieces created. CCS is dedicated to sharing in the appreciation of, and providing education in the art of calligraphy. Fostering both community and personal growth through the art of beautiful writing, CCS is open to all who believe in its purpose.
