The Calligraphy Society of Tasmania, a not-for-profit organisation, was founded in 1988 to provide a meeting point for all interested in calligraphy, lettering, and associated arts and crafts, and to encourage community interest in calligraphy.

The Society is based in Hobart, and meets monthly. We conduct regular workshops with local, interstate and international practitioners. Biennial exhibitions are held, and our journal, The Dancing Pen, is published quarterly. A collection of books and audio-visual materials is also available for loan to members.

If you are interested in calligraphy, traditional or modern, and associated arts and crafts, such as making books, illumination, experimenting with papers and writing tools, you are most welcome to join the Society.
